This is a drawing of a long brown dress with a colorful shawl. The illustration features a detailed depiction of a brown, full-length dress with long sleeves. Draped over the shoulders is a vibrant orange-pink shawl. The fabric appears to hang heavily. To the right, there is a simple line drawing of the same dress from the back. The depiction showcases period fashion with careful attention to folds and patterns in the fabric.
