About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length dress with a short jacket. The dress has a light green base with scattered blue, red, and white floral shapes. She stands straight, wearing simple black heels and a small belt at her waist. To the right, a tiny sketch shows the dress from behind, tied with a bow at the back. The word *Angélique* is written in the corner, maybe the dress’s name. The flowers on the dress are small and scattered, not clustered. Next, look up floral pattern to see how clothes used this style.

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