More about this artwork
This sketch by William James Glackens, titled "Woman in Black Hat and Black Skirt," portrays a female figure dressed in what appears to be early 20th-century attire. The drawing, rendered in charcoal on a yellow-brown paper, captures the woman in a static, contemplative pose. The artist employs loose, expressive strokes that impart a sense of movement and softness to the fabric of her garments.The woman's outfit consists of a skirt and a fitted blouse with details like pleats or gathers, enhancing the textural quality of the drawing. The skirt, full and likely layered, falls gracefully around her. Her black hat, detailed with bands or ribbons, adds an elegant touch to her overall look, suggesting she might be a woman of some fashion and status of her period. The hat also frames her face, directing focus to her downcast gaze, which along with her slightly tilted head, invokes a mood of introspection or mild solemnity.Overall, Glackens’s sketch is not just a study of fashion but subtly communicates the temperament or mood of the subject, showcasing his skill in capturing human emotion and style with minimal yet effective strokes.
