About this work

A woman stands in a doorway, wearing a modern dress. She's poised and elegant. Her attire is detailed, with subtle patterns and textures. The woman's dress and the background are rendered in a subtle way. This adds to the sense of modern femininity in the artwork. The artist paid attention to small details, like the woman's accessories. This artwork is an example of a technique used by artist Hassam, Childe, who worked with etching.
