About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress. The top is black with a deep V-neck, and the skirt has a bold pattern of swirling shapes in gray and white. Her pose is confident, with one hand on her hip and the other resting near her side. The word *Lotus* is written at the top—maybe a name for the dress or the design. The drawing looks loose and quick, like it was done in one go. Want to see more by the artist who made this? Check out Carven.
