About this work

The image depicts a woman in a black dress with a white collar and a black belt around her waist. She is wearing high heels and has her hair styled in an updo. To the right of the woman, there is a smaller drawing of a white coat with a belt around the waist. The woman's dress appears to be a formal outfit, possibly for a special occasion. The white coat next to her seems to be a complementary piece to her dress. If you're interested in learning more about fashion and design, you might want to explore the work of the artist, Carven.
