About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a flowing white dress with a wide skirt and long sleeves. She’s wearing a veil tied under her chin and a headband. The lines are loose and quick, like a quick sketch. The name *Angélique* is written in the corner—maybe that’s the dress’s name. The artist used light pencil strokes to show folds and movement in the fabric.

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