About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a bright yellow dress with a fitted top and a long, flowing skirt. Her pose is relaxed, with one hand in her pocket and the other resting on her hip. The skirt has a scalloped hem, and the dress is simple but stylish. The artist signed it "Bambou," which might hint at the dress’s light, airy feel. The lines are clean and confident, with just a few quick strokes to show folds and shadows. If you like this style, check out Carven, the artist who made it.
