Etude de costumes c. 19th century

"Etude de costumes" is a watercolor and pencil sketch by French artist Eugène Boudin, dating back to the 19th century. The artwork depicts several figures, likely women, in various poses. The use of loose lines and washes, particularly in the figures' clothing, suggests a quick study or preparatory sketch. This drawing showcases Boudin's interest in capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life, particularly the fashion and social customs of his time.
