About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a loose, dark outfit with a white collar and cap. Her arms are crossed, and she’s holding something small in her hands. The skirt is long and straight, with a slight flare at the bottom, and her shoes are simple and flat. The name *Fidelio* is written in the top-right corner, which might be a design code or the name of the outfit. The drawing looks like it was made with quick, clean lines and shading.
