(Sketches of Women in Hats)
1906–1907

A sketch on aged paper featuring a series of quick, expressive drawings of women in hats, with the most prominent figure shown in profile view wearing a large, decorated hat and a long coat. The other sketches depict faces with various expressions and headwear, all rendered in a loose, gestural style with black ink. The paper has rough edges, suggesting it may have been torn from a larger sheet.
