About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a loose, sleeveless dress with black dots on a light background. She’s wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a short, flared skirt. The lines are simple and confident, with quick, sketchy strokes. The artist signed it “Majorque” in the corner—maybe a nickname or the model’s name. The outfit looks like something from the early 1950s, with a relaxed, modern style. If you like this sketchy style, look up cross-hatching next.

These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
