This watercolor drawing, titled "Peasant Women from Ragusa," by English artist Edward Lear depicts three women in traditional Ragusan clothing. The artwork's loose style and detailed observations of costume and dress were characteristic of Lear's work. Lear is known for his travel sketches, whimsical limericks, and illustrations of natural history. This detailed sketch, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, demonstrates Lear's artistic skill in capturing the everyday lives and regional attire of the people he encountered during his travels.
