DescriptionThis is a study sketch on brown paper. It shows the figure of a woman in a sitting position and her head is leaning forward as if asleep. The anatomical details are barely visible, as Leighton appears to have been concentrating on the rendering of the woman's dress. The dress is executed in white, with black outlining.On View
