About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress with a belt at her waist. She holds a cane in one hand and has a small brooch at her collar. The lines are loose and confident, with just a few quick strokes for the hair and fabric folds. The artist signed it "Nescafé" in the corner—maybe a nickname or a brand tie. The drawing feels quick, like a fashion sketch rather than a detailed portrait. If you like this style, look up Carven for more of their work.
