About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a stylish outfit from the 1920s. She’s wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a long coat with buttons, and a short skirt with a decorative belt. In her hand, she holds a cane, and her shoes are pointed with low heels. The sketch includes a small fabric swatch in the top-right corner, like a sample. The artist signed it “Chaim” at the top. Look up swatch to see how artists used fabric samples in their work.
