About this work

This drawing shows a woman from the back, wearing a dark blue dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The bodice has a bow at the neckline and small buttons down the front, while the skirt has horizontal lines and a slight train. The lines are simple and clean, with a light pencil sketch style. The dress looks like it’s made for movement, with the skirt’s layers suggesting a playful, modern cut. The title “Piccotine” is written in the corner, which might hint at the fabric or style.
