About this work

The painting depicts a woman dressed in a blue outfit, featuring a long-sleeved jacket and a knee-length skirt. Her attire is adorned with white circles of varying sizes, arranged in vertical rows. The woman's short hair is styled in an updo, and she wears high heels. Her left hand rests on her hip, while her right hand holds a long, thin object that resembles a whip or a cord. The woman's facial expression is neutral, and her gaze is directed straight ahead. The background of the painting is a plain beige color, which provides a subtle contrast to the woman's vibrant blue outfit. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Carven, who was known for his elegant and refined depictions of women's fashion.
