About this work

The image depicts a woman in a green dress with white gloves and heels, standing with her left leg forward. She has short white hair and is looking to her right. The dress has a round collar, three-quarter sleeves, and a belt around the waist. It is buttoned up the front and has a slit up the side. To the right of the woman is a simple drawing of the back of the dress. The background of the image is off-white. The woman's pose and attire suggest that she is a fashion model or mannequin. The drawing of the dress on the right provides a detailed view of the garment's design. This image could be related to the work of the artist Carven, who was known for his fashion designs.
