About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a wide skirt and a draped top. Her arms are raised behind her head, and the dress has a loose, wavy pattern. The lines are bold and confident, with quick brushstrokes that keep it light and sketchy. The name "Dame Blanche" is written in the corner, which might hint at something about the woman’s role or identity. The drawing feels like a quick study, capturing movement without heavy detail.
