About this work

This sketch shows a woman from behind, wearing a dark blue dress with a tied waist and flared skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she holds a cigarette in one hand. The lines are loose, with quick strokes and minimal shading. The name *Othello* is written in the top corner—likely the dress’s design name, not the woman’s. The style looks like 1950s fashion, but the artist’s hand is light and sketchy. Want to see more by this artist? Check out Carven.
