About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a flowing dress with a wide skirt. The fabric has a floral pattern in soft greens and browns. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s wearing simple shoes. The lines are loose but confident, with quick brushstrokes. The sketch’s name, *Ninon*, is signed in the corner—likely the artist’s signature. The dress looks like something from the mid-20th century, with a mix of elegance and movement. If you like this style, check out the museum: Museum of Ethnography to see more works like it.

These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
