About this work

This image shows a woman in a dress with a pattern of swirling shapes in shades of brown, purple, and white. The dress has a collar, a belt around the waist, and three-quarter-length sleeves. The woman's hair is styled in an updo, and she is wearing high heels. Her left hand is on her hip, and her right hand is by her side. The background of the image is a solid beige color, with a darker beige border around the edges. In the top-right corner, there is some handwritten text that appears to be the title of the piece, "Outremer," and the artist's name, "Carven." The overall effect of the image is one of elegance and sophistication. If you're interested in learning more about the artist behind this piece, you might want to look up Carven.
