About this work

This is a simple line drawing of a woman in a knee-length dress. The dress has a dark top with short sleeves and a flared skirt covered in bold, swirling red and black patterns. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s standing with one hand resting on her hip. The drawing looks like a quick sketch—maybe for a fashion design. The name "Ossian" is written in the corner, but we don’t know what that means yet. If you like this style, check out Carven.
