1910
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Paris: Ribbon Vender is a 1910 by Ernest Haskell, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman wrapped in heavy layers of fabric, her face half-hidden by a scarf. Her hair is covered by a headpiece, and she holds a bundle of ribbons tied with a bow. The lines are loose and quick, giving the drawing a sketchy, unfinished look. The artist focused on texture—you can almost feel the folds of her clothes and the ribbons’ weight. The Cleveland Museum of Art holds this work, titled *Paris: Ribbon Vender*. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more sketches like this.
