Riding Habit

Marie Mitchell

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a partially completed sketch of a person with only their torso, shoulders, and arms detailed. The head and legs are represented by simple outlines, with the head missing. The figure is seated, holding a riding crop in their left hand, suggesting they may be on a horse. The person wears a dark, likely black, long-sleeved jacket with buttons and a matching full-length skirt. There are no visible hair or facial features. No jewelry or other objects are depicted. The background is plain and unadorned, suggesting a conceptual setting.
