About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple green dress with a fitted top and a flared skirt. She wears a dark hat and holds a matching brown purse. The lines are loose but confident, with quick brushstrokes for shading. In the corner, there’s a small sketch of the dress’s back view, showing how the skirt flares out. The word *Pélican* is written in the top right corner, which might be the dress’s name. The drawing feels like a quick study—maybe for a fashion design. If you like this style, check out Carven for more work.
