About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a high neckline and puffed sleeves. Her hair is pulled up, and she’s standing sideways, one hand resting on her hip. The lines are loose and quick, with some shading to suggest fabric folds. The word *Ambassade* is written in the corner—maybe it’s the title. The artist signed it with a small mark, but it’s hard to read. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next.
