About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing red dress with a high neckline and fitted waist. Her skirt flares out into soft folds, and she wears simple black gloves and pointed shoes. The lines are loose but confident, with quick brushstrokes for the dress and sketchy details for the hands and face. The name *Anastasia* is written in the corner, hinting this might be a fashion design. The artist’s handwriting is neat but unassuming—no big flourishes, just clear letters.

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