About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a flowing, striped dress with a fitted top and flared skirt. Her arms are raised behind her head, and she’s wearing simple heels. The lines are loose and quick, with soft watercolor shading in yellows and greens. The artist signed it *"Canaries"*—maybe the colors remind you of them. The dress looks like something from the 1950s, with clean lines and a playful pose. Want to see more of this artist’s work? Look up Carven.
