About this work

This drawing shows two women in long, flowing dresses. The one on the left wears a light green gown with a belt and small flowers along the hem. The woman on the right has a wide skirt with a fan-like shape and a hat that sits low on her head. The sketch uses loose, confident lines and soft watercolor washes to show fabric movement. The dresses look light and airy, almost like they’re floating. Want to see more by this artist? Check out Carven.
