A study of two girls in North European 16th Century dress 

This is a study of two girls in 16th Century dress by the artist James Tissot. It is a pencil drawing, on a brown toned paper. The piece depicts two girls, one in the background the other in the foreground, with the girl in the foreground only partially shown. The work shows a strong interest in historical costume and the study of the human form. This drawing is indicative of Tissot's interest in historical subjects and his meticulous attention to detail.
