About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a flowing dress with wide straps and a flared skirt. The skirt has horizontal stripes of pink and green, with clusters of tiny flowers in blue and green. Her pose is loose, one arm swinging as she walks. In the corner, there’s a smaller drawing of the dress from the front. The handwritten note says *"Robe à fines bretelles"*—French for "dress with fine straps." The flowers on the skirt are simple but lively, adding a touch of nature to the design.
