A standing woman in a long dark dress and wide-brimmed hat is the focus of this drawing, and the outfit itself is the main point of interest. Long, full skirts and structured hats like this one were typical of women's everyday and formal dress in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when modest, floor-length clothing signaled respectability. Viewers can study the cut of the bodice, the sweep of the skirt, and the shape of the hat to see how fashion shaped the way families presented themselves in public.
