About this work

This sketch shows a simple, elegant dress with a square neckline and short sleeves. The fabric has tiny white dots scattered across it, giving it texture. The figure stands straight, with one hand resting on the hip and the other loose at the side. The title *Auréole* hints at a light or glow—maybe the dots suggest something shimmery or celestial. The drawing is loose and quick, like a fashion sketch. If you like this style, check out stippling for more on how dots create texture.

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