About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a bright red dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The dress has a bow at the waist and another at the side seam. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s wearing simple black shoes. The lines are loose and quick, with just a few shadows to show shape. The drawing’s name is *Rubis*—French for “ruby”—which matches the dress color. The artist used simple strokes and flat colors, keeping it clean and bold. Next, check out Carven, the artist behind this sketch.
