About this work

This drawing, titled Lilas, presents a woman in a light purple dress with a floral pattern. The dress features a full skirt and short sleeves, complemented by a purple belt around her waist. She wears a white hat and carries a white handbag in her right hand. Her left hand is not visible. The woman's attire is completed by a pair of white gloves and high heels. In the bottom-right corner of the drawing, a faint outline of a dress is visible, suggesting that the artist may have been experimenting with different designs or styles. The overall style of the drawing appears to be a fashion illustration, with attention to detail in the woman's clothing and accessories.
