About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, elegant dress. The dress is light gray with a subtle floral pattern and a fitted waist. She’s holding a small clutch in one hand and wears a headpiece that looks like a soft, rounded hat. The lines are loose and quick, giving the drawing a fresh, unfinished feel. The dress style looks like something from the mid-20th century. The sketch’s title, *Fumée*, hints at a smoky or misty quality, maybe from the way the fabric is drawn.
