About this work

This drawing shows a woman in profile, wearing a wide-brimmed black hat and a sleeveless dress with green and black splatters. The dress is loose at the shoulders and flares out at the knees, giving it a light, airy look. Her arms rest on her head, and her legs are long and straight. The sketch is loose and quick, with bold lines and flat colors—no shading to show depth. The name "Buisson" is written in the corner, but we don’t know what it means yet.
