About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress with a fitted bodice and flared skirt. Her pose is relaxed, with one leg slightly bent and her hands resting on her hips. The lines are loose and confident, with quick strokes for the dress’s texture and softer shading for her skin and shoes. The title *Changeante* hints at something shifting or adaptable—maybe the way light or mood changes the way we see clothes. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture movement without overworking details. Want to see more like this? Check out cross-hatching.
