About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a bright yellow dress with a fitted top and a long, flared skirt. She’s wearing a dark hat and standing sideways, one hand resting on her hip. The lines are loose and quick, with some shading to show folds in the fabric. The artist signed it *"Colopavo"*—though that might just be a playful nickname. The style looks simple but confident, like a quick study for a fashion design. If you like this sketch, check out Carven, the artist behind it.
