About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, sleeveless dress with a high collar. Her hair is styled in a short, voluminous updo. The lines are loose and confident, with quick strokes that keep it light and airy. The drawing is labeled *Dames de coeur* and signed with initials in the corner. The plain background keeps all focus on the figure’s shape and movement. Try looking up sleeveless dresses to see how this style changed over time.
