Süditalienerin im Kirchgangsgewand

Italienische Grafik 1824–1911, 1885/1888

This image is a pastel drawing. It shows portions of three figures. The central figure's torso and arms are more completely represented, holding a white fabric adorned with patterns and a black beaded necklace. Their clothing includes a detailed, multicolored sleeve with geometric patterns and a long white skirt. The head and upper body outlines of this figure are visible, but facial features are not detailed. Two more figures are behind the central one, with obscured backgrounds and facial features. They are dressed similarly, with one wearing a hat and the other displaying a richly patterned sleeve and white skirt. The background is a plain, beige surface, highlighting the figures' vividly patterned clothing and softly shadowed outlines.
