About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a red dress, with her arms outstretched and a white hat on her head. The dress has a full skirt and a fitted bodice, with a high neckline and long sleeves. The woman's face is not clearly visible, but she appears to be looking upwards. The drawing is done in a simple, elegant style, with clean lines and minimal shading. The red color of the dress is the dominant feature of the image, and it gives the overall effect a sense of warmth and energy. The drawing is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
