Sketches of Figures, Pandanus Leaf, and Vanilla Plant
Loose pencil and watercolor sketches on cream paper show two women in straw hats, one in profile at lower left with a long braid and blue garment, the other above seated and holding broad green leaves. A faint hatched landscape appears at the top, and a plant with leaves sits at the right edge.
