About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a flowing dress with layered ruffles. The dress has a blue-green floral pattern, and the fabric looks soft and light. The woman’s pose is simple, with one arm bent at her side and the other resting on her hip. There’s also a small drawing of the dress’s front view in the corner. The words *"Robe à volants"* mean "dress with ruffles" in French, which fits the layers you see. The sketch feels quick, like it was drawn fast to capture the shape and fabric.
