About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a dark, fitted dress with a deep V-neck and puffed sleeves. She’s holding a small object in one hand, and her skirt flares slightly at the bottom. The drawing is loose and quick, with simple lines and light shading. The name *Chica* is written in the corner—maybe it’s the dress’s name or the model’s nickname. The style looks polished but relaxed, like something you’d see in a magazine from the mid-20th century. If you like this kind of fashion drawing, check out Carven for more.
