About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, dotted jacket and matching skirt. Her arms are crossed, and one hand holds a small object. The dots on her clothes are dark blue and black on a light background. The drawing is simple, with quick lines and no extra details. The sketch looks like a quick study of a fashion design. The dots suggest a printed fabric, and the pose is casual but confident.
