About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing evening gown. The dress has a deep V-neck and a cape-like drape over her shoulders, with a fitted bodice and loose skirt. The fabric looks soft and slightly see-through, with a few purple dots near the waist. In the corner, there’s a smaller drawing of the same dress from the back. The artist focused on simple lines and light shading to show the shape and movement of the fabric. The handwritten title, *Robe d’un soir*, means "evening dress" in French.
