Composition
r.: The Blue Girl, Freer Gallery of Art
This is a detailed study for the The Blue Girl: Portrait of Miss Elinor Leyland [YMSM 111]. The canvas was destroyed by the artist, leaving only vases of flowers at each side, which do not appear in the drawing.
Technique
r.: The Blue Girl, Freer Gallery of Art
The figure may have been retouched and signed 1890/1893.
v.: Curtain, Freer Gallery of Art
The drawing of the curtain on the verso does not seem to be a design but a sketch of an actual curtain.
