Girl in a Modern Gown is a 1922 ink by Childe Hassam, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman standing inside a doorway, wearing a long dress with a high collar. The lines are loose and quick, giving the scene a sketchy, unfinished feel. The doorway frames her, with a small table and a chair visible to the side. The artist used a mix of thin and thick lines to show light and shadow, especially on her dress and face. This technique makes the drawing look almost like a quick sketch. Check out how this was made using etching, drypoint.
Frederick Childe Hassam was an American Impressionist painter, noted for his urban and coastal scenes.
