About this work

This drawing, titled Cadix, showcases a woman in a vibrant red coat with a white dress underneath. The coat features a high collar and a belt at the waist, while the dress is knee-length with a full skirt. The woman's hair is styled in a bob, and she wears high heels. A smaller, white coat is partially visible on the right side of the image. The drawing is rendered in a simple yet elegant style, with bold lines and minimal shading. The overall effect is one of understated sophistication, as if the woman is preparing for a night out on the town. The drawing's simplicity and elegance make it a compelling piece, inviting the viewer to explore the world of fashion and design.
