A seated young woman rests one hand on a small table while holding a furled umbrella, a pose that looks more like a quiet pause than a formal portrait. The record describes it as a watercolor drawing made sometime between 1910 and 1925, and its catalog placement in the Library of Congress's Prints and Photographs Division reflects its value as a record of dress. The subject heading on clothing from 1910 to 1930 points to the period's fashions as the main interest, with the long skirts, fitted bodices and wide hats of the Edwardian and early postwar years all shaping how such a figure would have looked. Because the artist is not named in the record, the drawing is best read as an informal document of everyday style from those years.
