(Study of a Woman with her Hands Behind her Back)
1899

A sketch of a woman in a vintage dress, depicted in profile view. She has her hair up in a bun and is wearing a long dress with a fitted bodice and full skirt that trails slightly behind her. The artist's signature and the year '99 are visible at the bottom right corner of the page. The paper appears aged with some discoloration around the edges.
