About this work

This drawing features a woman in a black dress with a lace hem and ruffled sleeves. She has short, light-colored hair and is wearing black high heels. The dress has a round neckline and short sleeves, and the woman is holding a black swatch in her right hand. The background of the drawing is a light yellow color. The woman's pose suggests that she is modeling the dress, and the swatch she is holding may be a sample of the fabric used to make the dress. The overall effect of the drawing is one of elegance and sophistication. The drawing is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
