(Study of a Seated Woman with Bonnet Sitting and Folded Hands)
1899–1906

A monochromatic watercolor sketch of a seated woman in historical dress, possibly from the 19th century, with a bonnet. The woman is depicted in profile, looking downward with her hands clasped together. The background is loosely defined, with darker shades on the left side, creating a contrast with the lighter subject. The paper shows signs of aging around the edges.
