About this work

The image depicts a drawing of a woman in a stylish outfit, with the title "Cyril" written above her. The woman is shown from the waist up, wearing a long-sleeved jacket and matching pants. Her short hair is neatly styled, and she has a pair of earrings on. The drawing is rendered in a simple yet elegant style, with clean lines and minimal details. The woman's pose is relaxed, with her arms at her sides and her weight shifted onto one leg. The overall effect is one of understated sophistication, as if the woman is about to step out into a fashionable setting. This drawing is reminiscent of the work of artist Carven, who was known for his elegant and refined depictions of women's fashion.
