About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple navy-blue dress with a fitted bodice and flared skirt. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she holds her hands loosely at her sides. To the right, there’s a small line drawing of the same dress from the front, showing its clean lines and buttoned waist. The sketch is labeled *Liberty*, which might hint at a connection to fashion or freedom in design. The loose, confident strokes suggest the artist focused on movement and shape over detail.
