About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black outfit. She’s wearing a fitted jacket with sharp lapels and a matching pencil skirt. Her left arm rests at her side, while her right arm holds a small object, maybe a fan or a cigarette holder. The drawing is simple, with clean lines and solid black shapes against a light background. The title *Paso-doble* hints this might be inspired by a Spanish dance style. The outfit looks polished and mid-century, with a touch of elegance. Want to see more?
