About this work

This page shows two black-and-white drawings of people in old-fashioned clothes. The top figure is a woman in a long, draped dress with a high waist and a loose shawl over her shoulders. The bottom figure is a man in a long coat with wide sleeves, a tall hat, and a fur-lined collar. The drawings look like they’re from a costume book, showing how people dressed in different places. The labels call one a "Woman of Persia" and the other a "Turkish dignitary." Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more drawings like these.
