The design appears highly finished, with opaque areas of bodycolour both filling in the pencil outlines, and forming the base for more pencil outlines and shading, which define the forms even further. It is signed with the name of the firm, and the designer has made notes at the bottom left on alternative possible textiles. This design would have been used as a presentation drawing, for clients to decide which model they wanted to have made.","physicalDescription":"A pencil and bodycolour design of a woman in a three-quarter length lilac dress with lilac shoes, and pink gloves, bag, and headdress. The bodycolour has been applied over an original pencil sketch, filling it in, and more pencil lines and shading have been applied over the bodycolour. An area of text in pencil at bottom left describes the fabric options.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Field, Marjorie","id":"A17164"},"association":{"text":"designer","id":"x36960"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"pencil","id":"x30347"},{"text":"bodycolour","id":"x34671"},{"text":"paper","id":"x30308"}],"techniques":[{"text":"drawing","id":"x32498"},{"text":"painting","id":"x30598"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Pencil and bodycolour on paper","categories":[{"text":"Accessories","id":"THES48998"},{"text":"Clothing","id":"THES48975"},{"text":"Day wear","id":"THES49000"},{"text":"Designs","id":"THES48968"},{"text":"Drawings","id":"THES48966"},{"text":"Fashion","id":"THES48957"},{"text":"Textiles","id":"THES48885"},{"text":"Womenswear","id":"THES49044"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2006BJ9219"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLD","id":"THES49658"},"free":"","case":"FD","shelf":"11","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"designs","id":"AAT102051"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"London","id":"x28980"},"association":{"text":"designed","id":"x29338"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1948-50","earliest":"1948-01-01","latest":"1950-12-31"},"association":{"text":"designed","id":"x29338"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Paul Williamson","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"32.8","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"20.2","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"'<u>Field Rhoades</u>'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"In pencil at bottom right"},{"content":"'C. / in mosscrepe. / <u>or</u> in printed crepe.'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"In pencil at bottom left"},{"content":"'DJ/010'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"In blue pen at top right"},{"content":"'EXCELSIOR / SUPERFINE / BRITISH MAKE'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"This is a watermark followed by a combination of letters and numbers.
