About this work

The image shows a drawing of a woman wearing a dress with a plaid pattern. The dress has a sailor collar and is sleeveless. The woman is wearing high heels and has her hair styled in a bob. The background of the drawing is white. The drawing is done in a simple style, with bold lines and minimal shading. The plaid pattern on the dress is made up of yellow, blue, and green lines. The woman's face is not visible, as it is not drawn. This drawing is similar to the work of artist Carven, who is known for his simple yet elegant designs.
