Balance
This is a design sketch for a costume, not a portrait - the woman is effectively a mannequin, a stand-in for the eventual character. As such, all the details of the sketch are in the costume. The person in the costume barely exists - all the elements of her body are half-finished: hands, face, legs.
Her hands could be in motion, but the sketch isn't of someone in motion. As a mannequin, there's a sense of stillness, that they won't be in motion at all, the balance is fixed.
Line drawing in brown ink of a woman in a fur-trimmed coat with a tall hat, material unclear but also possibly fur. She is standing straight, her arms out to the sides as if to show off the dress, and her legs are close together. She looks poised, as though she is leaning forward a little. It's difficult to tell the balance of the physical object - the paper and ink - it's such a think object that it has no real balance. But the drawing appears to be angled on the paper, not centred upright - off-balance.
