About this work

This drawing shows a woman standing confidently with one hand on her hip. She’s wearing a short-sleeve top with a bold floral pattern in purple and green, paired with a long, flowing skirt in teal and white. The skirt has a zigzag design near the hem, and she’s got on black heels. The word "Patio" is written in red at the top, maybe hinting at where she’s posed. The background is simple—a rough sketch of a building column. If you like this style, check out the museum: Museum of Ethnography to see more works like it.

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