The image displays a sketch of a figure on an aged, beige paper background. The figure appears to be a woman dressed in a period costume, likely from the 18th or 19th century, given the fashion reflected in the outfit. She is wearing a gown with a wide skirt that appears to be bell-shaped, possibly supported by a hoop skirt or crinoline underneath. The bodice is fitted, with ruffle details on the shoulders, and she is adorned with a headpiece that includes a feather or plume. Her right arm is extended, and her hand appears to be interacting with something or gesturing, while her left hand is clasped gently by her side. The paper has a large faint brown circular stain that overlays part of the drawing and there are several smaller pinkish blotches dispersed around the page. The sketch itself is very light, with some damaged areas where the paper's texture has changed, possibly due to water damage or age-related wear. The overall presentation suggests that this drawing could be a preliminary artwork or concept design. It lacks finer details and color, which hints that it might have been an initial idea or study for a costume design.

The image shows a pencil sketch of a woman in a large, flowing dress. She appears to be in a dancing or swirling motion, with her arms raised and her dress billowing outwards. The sketch is contained within a circular frame, giving it a dreamlike or ethereal quality. The overall style and composition suggest this is likely a sketch or study for a larger work, perhaps a painting or illustration.
