About this work

This drawing shows a woman standing sideways, wearing a long dress with a dark top and a red-and-black patterned skirt. Her hair is pulled up in a loose bun, and she’s holding a small bag in one hand. The lines are simple but confident, with a few quick strokes for the face and shoes. The sketch feels modern and stylish, like a quick fashion sketch rather than a detailed portrait. The title *Jeux de dame* (which means "lady’s game") hints it might play with ideas of elegance and playfulness. If you like this style, check out sleeveless dresses from the same era for more inspiration.
