National Gallery of Art

The image features multiple sketches of women in various poses and outfits. The central figure is seated with a relaxed posture, undefined facial features, and voluminous hair. She wears a dress with textured folds and layers. Additional sketches show women in seated positions, one holding a round object that resembles a fan, all with indistinct facial features and outfits with collars or trims. The background consists of cross-hatched and shaded areas.
