Sketch of a woman in white clothes is a 1895 oil by Jan Ciągliński, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
This painting depicts a woman reclining on her back, wearing a white dress that is pulled up to her thighs. Her head is tilted back, and her face is obscured by shadows. The artist's use of oil paint creates a sense of depth and texture, with visible brushstrokes adding to the overall effect. The woman's body is rendered in soft, muted tones, with the white of her dress standing out against the darker background.
