About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a bright blue dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. She’s walking, one hand resting on her hip, wearing simple shoes. The background is plain, and the lines are bold and clean. The artist signed it “Calèche” in the corner, and there are two small sketches of the dress at the bottom—one front view, one back. The style looks sleek and simple, with no extra details. If you like this kind of fashion drawing, check out womenswear from the 1950s.

These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
