About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, pale green dress with a high collar and a wide belt. Her sleeves are puffy at the shoulders, and she wears a hat with a tall, flat brim. The lines are simple, almost like a sketch, with no background. The date at the bottom says November 6, 1914, and the text mentions it was "from dictation," meaning someone described the outfit to the artist. The clothes look like they were drawn to show what was fashionable at the time. If you like this style of fashion drawing, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more historical clothing sketches.
