About this work

The image depicts a sketch of a woman in a dress, with her left hand on her hip and her right arm raised to her head. The dress is a light brown color with darker brown dots and a ruffled neckline. The woman's face is not visible. The sketch is done in a loose, expressive style, with bold lines and minimal shading. The overall effect is one of elegance and sophistication. This sketch is reminiscent of the work of Carven, a fashion designer known for her elegant and refined designs.
