About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a sleek, strapless dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The dress has a dark base with orange floral splashes, and she wears long black gloves and black high heels. To the right, a simple line drawing of the same dress is shown from the front, with no face or details. The title *Malaguena* is written in the corner, hinting at a possible connection to Spanish dance or culture. The artist used bold, loose brushstrokes for the colored dress and kept the line drawing minimal. If you like this style, look up Carven.
