This drawing shows a woman in a fancy, old-fashioned dress. The gown is light pink with layers of lace and purple trim. Her sleeves are puffy, and the skirt has a long train decorated with green leaves and gold dots. She wears a feathered hat and a necklace. The dress looks like it’s from a time when clothes were very detailed and formal. The artist focused on the fabric’s texture, showing how it folds and moves. If you like this style, look up The Cleveland Museum of Art.
