'Miss Paton'

From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum

About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, fancy dress with puffed sleeves and a high waistline. Her gown has rows of small bows and ruffles at the hem, and she wears a necklace and a headpiece with flowers. One arm rests on her hip, and she holds a fan in her other hand. The paper looks old and worn, with some dark spots and faint pencil marks around the edges. The name "Miss Paton" is written at the bottom, likely the woman’s name.
