About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, knee-length dress with short sleeves and a subtle pattern near the hem. Her hair is styled in a neat updo, and she wears small earrings and low-heeled shoes. The lines are loose but confident, focusing on shape over detail. The dress’s color looks light, almost coral-toned, which matches the title *Corail*. The artist used quick, clean strokes to keep it fresh and modern. Next, look up sleeveless fashion from the 1960s to see how this style fits into its time.
