About this work

The image showcases a drawing of a woman in a long, elegant dress, accompanied by a smaller sketch of the same dress from a different angle. The woman's hair is styled in an updo, and she wears a white dress with a blue and white floral pattern on the bodice. The dress features a strapless design with a full skirt. The smaller sketch on the right side of the image provides a detailed view of the dress's back, highlighting the intricate design and folds of the fabric. The overall style of the drawing suggests a focus on fashion and design. This drawing is reminiscent of the work of artist Carven, known for their elegant and sophisticated designs.
