About this work

This drawing features a woman in a ball gown, facing away from the viewer. Her dark, curly hair is styled in an updo, and she holds a long, flowing piece of fabric in her right hand. The full skirt of her dress is layered and adorned with intricate black and yellow details. The woman's pose and attire suggest that she is preparing for a formal event or performance. The level of detail in the drawing implies that it may be a study for a larger work or a design for a costume. To learn more about the artist's work, explore the drawings of Carven.
