About this work

This drawing depicts a woman in a dress, facing away from the viewer. The dress is a light blue and white floral pattern, with a halter neck and a full skirt that falls just below the knee. The woman's hair is styled in a short, neat bob, and she wears dangling earrings. Her right arm is bent at the elbow, with her hand resting on her hip. The drawing is rendered in a loose, expressive style, with bold lines and subtle shading. The overall effect is one of elegance and sophistication, capturing the essence of a bygone era.
