About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, red dress with a high collar and wide sleeves. Her skirt is flared, and she stands with one hand on her hip. The lines are loose but confident, with quick strokes that give the fabric texture. The name *Salamandre* is written in the corner, and the style looks like it’s from a fashion sketch. The red color stands out against the plain background, making the dress the focus. If you like this style, look up Carven for more fashion-inspired art.
