About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, one-shoulder dress with a fitted bodice and a long, flowing skirt. The skirt has soft, wavy lines in muted greens and browns, while the bodice is a warm yellow with a small floral pattern. The drawing is simple but captures movement in the fabric’s folds. The name *Anémone* (French for "windflower") might hint at the dress’s delicate, blooming shape. The artist used quick, loose strokes—no tight details—to keep it light and airy.

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