About this work

This sketch shows a woman wearing a sleek black dress with a high collar and a wide cape-like shoulder. Her hair is pulled up in a loose bun, and she’s standing sideways, one hand resting on her hip. The lines are simple but confident, with quick strokes for the dress and softer shading for her face. The title *Crépuscule* (which means "twilight") hints this might be a nighttime or evening look. The artist used loose, expressive lines—no tiny details, just bold shapes. Want to see more by this artist? Check out Carven.
