About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress with white polka dots. The dress has a fitted jacket with a big bow at the neck and three-quarter sleeves. Her skirt flares slightly at the knee, and she wears white gloves and black low-heeled shoes. One hand is raised, as if she’s gesturing or posing. The drawing uses loose, quick lines with some shading to show folds in the fabric. The polka dots are drawn in a simple, even pattern, making the dress look smooth and polished.

These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
