About this work

This sketch shows a tall figure in a long, flowing black dress with a deep V-neck and flared skirt. The dress looks soft and smooth, almost like fabric moving. To the right, there’s a simple line drawing of the same dress, but flat and without color. The figure’s pose is confident, with one hand resting on the hip. The drawing mixes bold black lines with light pencil strokes, giving it a quick, sketchy feel. The handwritten note in the corner says “Alcazar” and the year “91,” which might mean this was a design idea. If you like this style, check out Carven for more fashion-inspired art.
