About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress with long sleeves and a fitted waist. Her skirt flares slightly at the bottom, and she’s holding a small object in one hand. The lines are loose and quick, with light shading to show the dress’s shape. The artist signed it "Boccador," but the name might be a nickname or a typo. The drawing feels like a quick study—maybe for a fashion design. If you like this style, look up Carven for more work like this.
