About this work

This sketch shows a woman from behind, walking with one arm raised. She’s wearing a sleek black dress with a fitted jacket that has a floral pattern on the back. Her skirt is long and straight, ending just above her ankles, and she’s got on pointed high heels. The name *Azyade* is written in pencil at the top right—maybe it’s the model’s name or the design’s title. The drawing is loose and quick, with some areas left plain and others lightly shaded.

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