About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, sleeveless dress with a flowery pattern. The dress is brown and cream, and the skirt flares out wide. She’s standing with one arm raised and the other hand holding something small, like a cigarette holder. The name *Héloïse* is written in the corner, maybe the model’s name or the design. The drawing looks quick and loose, with some lines overlapping to add shadow. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
