In this delicate drawing, a woman is gracefully seated at a secretary desk, absorbed in her work. The artist captures her in a quiet moment of elegant concentration, her posture slightly bent toward the open desk as if she's about to write or read. The strokes are fluid and confident, with a striking contrast between the soft, loose lines that define the folds of her flowing dress and the more structured, detailed rendering of the secretary. The muted color palette of earthy browns, creamy whites, and gentle grays evokes a calm atmosphere, inviting viewers into an intimate domestic scene.

The composition beautifully balances detail and suggestion: the chair's curves and the woman's silhouette create a harmonious rhythm, while the strokes suggest light and texture without overwhelming. The artist’s subtle use of white highlights brings the dress to life, creating a sense of movement and softness against the stillness of the furniture and the muted background. The overall effect is tender and personal, offering a glimpse into a refined moment of daily life at the turn of the century—a quiet testament to grace, femininity, and the understated dignity of everyday tasks.
