The Seamstress II
1969

A pencil drawing depicting a woman standing next to a dress form and a sewing machine on a table. The woman is wearing a blouse and a skirt, and she appears to be in a contemplative pose, with her hand resting on the dress form. A chair is visible in the background, and the artwork has a sketch-like quality with soft colors.
