About this work

A young girl stands in the foreground, holding a small book. She wears a white dress with a high collar and a wide-brimmed hat, standing in front of a fence and a blurry church steeple. The colors are soft and muted, with light blue gloves and a pale background. This drawing shows a girl dressed in Quaker clothes, holding what looks like a Bible or prayer book. The loose, sketchy lines give it a gentle, unfinished feel. Next, look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
