Theatrical Drawing of an Actress (from Sketchbook)

John William Casilear

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a woman in a dress and hat. The woman is drawn with her right arm raised and her left hand on her hip. She wears a dress with a square neckline and striped long sleeves, a belt around her waist and a hat on her head. The background of the sketch is plain. The sketch is on a piece of paper that appears to be taped to a larger piece of paper. The edges of the paper are rough and torn. The image has a black border.
