About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a brown dress with a floral pattern. The dress has a fitted top and a flared skirt, stopping just above the knee. Her hair is styled in a loose updo with a flower pinned on top. The drawing is loose and quick, with simple lines and shading. The sketch is signed with "Joliet 82" in the corner, which might be the dress name or a code. The style looks like a fashion drawing, not a portrait.
