About this work

This sketch shows a woman in mid-motion, her arms raised as if dancing or gesturing. She’s dressed in a loose, flowing outfit with a high collar and a draped shawl. The lines are quick and sketchy, capturing her energy more than her details. The name "Yvette Guilbert" is written at the top, and the artist’s signature is scrawled in the corner. It looks like a quick study—maybe for a poster or program. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how artists print images like this.
