About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing wedding dress with a veil. The dress has a simple design with a row of small floral shapes near the hem. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s standing sideways, looking off to the side. The name *Adélie* is written in the corner, which might be the dress’s design name. The artist used quick, confident lines to draw the fabric folds. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
