About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length dress with a fitted bodice and flared skirt. The fabric looks textured, like a woven or printed pattern in shades of blue and green. Her hair is short and neat, and she’s walking with one hand resting on her hip. Next to her is a simple line drawing of the same dress, showing its shape without fabric details. The sketch is labeled *"Aglaë"* in the corner, which might be the dress’s name. The artist used quick, confident lines to show movement and fabric drape.

These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
