About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length dress with a high collar and long sleeves. The dress is dark green with small white dots, and she wears black shoes. Her hair is short and styled neatly, and she holds a small bag in one hand. The artist’s notes mention the dress is made of "serge marine" (navy twill fabric) over a white background. The sketch includes a tiny drawing of the dress’s sleeve detail. Look up twill weave to see how this fabric is made.
