About this work

This drawing depicts a woman in a long, dark dress with a subtle pattern. Her hair is styled in a bob, and she wears a headband. The dress features thin straps and a low neckline, with the woman's arms bent at the elbows as if she is gesturing. The background of the drawing is a plain, off-white color. The woman's pose and attire suggest a sense of elegance and sophistication. The artist's use of simple lines and subtle shading creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the drawing. The Museum of Ethnography holds this piece, offering a glimpse into the artistic style and techniques of the time.
