About this work

This drawing features a woman in a dress with a pleated skirt, paired with a striped top and a hat. Her right arm is extended, and her left arm is bent at the elbow, with her hand pointing downwards. A smaller version of the dress is visible in the bottom-right corner. The woman's attire is rendered in a mix of brown and white stripes, while her skin tone is depicted in a light orange hue. The background of the drawing is a plain white surface. The attention to detail in this drawing is impressive, particularly in the way the pleats of the skirt are rendered.
