About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, dark blue dress with a flared skirt. She’s wearing a white hat with a bow on top and a matching belt. The lines are simple but confident, with quick brushstrokes for the fabric folds. The name *Balsamine* is written in the top corner, which might be the dress’s code name. The drawing feels fresh and modern for its time, focusing on clean shapes over details. If you like this style, look up Carven for more fashion sketches like this.
