About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. Her hair is styled in a high, voluminous updo, and she wears gold earrings and a small clutch. The dress has a scalloped hem with lace trim, and she’s holding a matching purse while wearing pointed heels. The sketch is loose and quick, with bold lines and minimal shading. The artist focused on the dress’s shape and movement, almost like a fashion sketch. The title, *Haute fidélité*, is written in the corner. If you like this style, look up lace to see how it’s used in fashion and art.
