About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a red and white plaid outfit, facing away from the viewer. She's wearing a hat, a long-sleeved top, a matching skirt, and high heels. Her arms are crossed, and she's looking down. The drawing is simple, with clean lines and minimal details. The artist has focused on capturing the woman's pose and outfit, rather than adding intricate details or background elements. The drawing is held at the Museum of Ethnography. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up cross-hatching.
