Design for Hawk Dress for Mrs. C.E. Hunter as Queen Phalema in "The Seraph" is a 1900 by John Singer Sargent, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress. She wears a headpiece with a feather or spike on top. The fabric looks draped and layered, with some parts darker than others. Her arms are slightly bent, and she holds something small in her right hand. The drawing is rough and quick, like a first try. The lines are sketchy, not smooth. It’s meant to be a design for a costume. Next, look up Sargent, John Singer to see more of his work.
John Singer Sargent (; January 12, 1856 – April 15, 1925) was an American expatriate artist, considered the "leading portrait painter of his generation" for his evocations of Belle Époque and Edwardian-era luxury.
