About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a high collar and draped sleeves. The outfit is simple but elegant, with clean lines and a soft beige color. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The drawing uses loose, quick strokes—some areas are barely outlined, while others have heavier shading. The name "Brique" is written in the corner, likely the title of this piece. If you like this style of fashion drawing, look up Carven.
