About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing purple dress covered in white polka dots. The dress has a high waist and a wide, layered skirt that flares out at the bottom. Her arms are relaxed at her sides, and she’s wearing simple, flat shoes. The word *Flamenco* is written in the corner—likely a nod to the style’s Spanish roots. The polka dots and bold lines give it a lively, almost dance-like feel. Next, look up Carven to see more of this artist’s bold fashion sketches.
