About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length dress with a deep V-neck. The fabric has a splashy floral pattern—blue, orange, and white shapes scattered across it. She wears a wide-brimmed hat tilted slightly to one side, and her arms rest naturally at her sides. The drawing is quick and loose, with light pencil lines and small dabs of color. The name *Nénuphar* is scrawled in the corner, which might be the dress’s design name. If you like this style, check out Carven.
