About this work

This drawing depicts a woman in a red dress, with her left hand on her hip and her right hand holding the skirt of her dress. She has short white hair and is wearing high heels. The dress is a vibrant red color with a black outline, and it appears to be a simple yet elegant design. To the right of the woman, there is a small sketch of the back of the dress, which provides a glimpse into the designer's creative process. The overall style of the drawing suggests that it may be a fashion illustration from the mid-20th century. If you're interested in learning more about the artist behind this drawing, you might want to look up the work of Carven, the designer who created this piece.
