About this work

This drawing depicts a woman in a long, white dress with a full skirt and a fitted bodice. The dress features a low back and long, white gloves. The woman's hair is styled in an updo, and she wears red lipstick. Her face is turned to the left, and her body is angled slightly to the right. The drawing is rendered in a simple yet elegant style, with clean lines and minimal shading. The overall effect is one of understated sophistication. The drawing is reminiscent of the work of Carven, who was known for her elegant and refined style.
