This drawing shows Miss H. Cawse dressed as Phillipa in The Bottle Imp. She's wearing a detailed costume. The drawing is interesting because it gives us a glimpse into theater performances from the past, like what characters looked like on stage. The character Phillipa is from a story, and this drawing helps us imagine what she might have looked like in a play. The details in the costume and the expression on her face are what make this drawing notable. To learn more about drawings like this, look into the technique of cross-hatching.
