A young woman wearing a large ruffled costume and feathered hat puts a glove on her right hand.

This drawing shows a tall, standing young woman wearing a pink costume with layers of lacy ruffles over her torso and pant legs. Her costume is complemented by a wide, feather-plumed hat, slender black shoes with flower pom-poms, and a saber tied to her black waist band. With a blank facial expression, she slips a glove on her right hand. In the background is a grove of dark silhouetted trees and a gray sky.
