About this work

This drawing depicts a woman standing in front of a table, wearing a floral-patterned jacket and a long skirt. Her right hand rests on the table, while her left hand is raised to her shoulder. The woman's face is not visible. The drawing is rendered in black ink with touches of color, creating a sense of depth and texture. The floral pattern on the jacket adds a pop of color to the otherwise monochromatic scene. The attention to detail in the drawing suggests a focus on fashion and style. For more information on the artist's approach to fashion illustration, you can look up the artist Carven.
