About this work

This drawing shows two women walking side by side in a public space. One wears a long dress with a wide skirt, while the other has a shorter jacket and a skirt with a slit. Their backs are turned, and they seem to be in motion, with one arm slightly raised. The scene looks like a busy area, possibly a market or public square. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to capture movement and clothing details. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work.
