About this work

This sketch shows a person from behind, wearing a simple outfit. The top is a light brown, short-sleeved shirt with a bow at the neck. The skirt is a soft yellow, flowing and loose, with a slight train at the back. The lines are loose and quick, giving it a sketchy feel. The word "Oranger" is written in the corner, which might be the name of this drawing. The artist used simple shapes and light shading to show the fabric and movement. If you like this style, look up Carven for more work like this.
