About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a purple dress with a bold floral pattern. The dress has short sleeves, a belted waist, and a flared skirt. She wears a headscarf and holds a small bag. Next to her is a simpler dress drawing with vertical lines. The artist used loose, quick lines to capture the fabric’s movement. The purple dress stands out against the plain background.
