About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a one-shoulder dress with a wide skirt. The dress has bold, abstract floral patterns in blues, greens, and purples. The artist added a small sketch of the dress’s back view in the corner. The name *Alexandrie* is written in the top right, but we don’t know what it refers to. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, like a fashion designer’s first idea. If you like this style, check out Carven for more work like this.

Carven

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