About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black outfit with a fitted jacket, pencil skirt, and pointed collar. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands confidently with one hand in her pocket. The drawing uses bold black lines against a light background, giving it a sharp, modern look. The word *Scintillant* written at the top suggests this outfit was meant to sparkle or stand out. The simple, clean lines focus on the shape of the clothes rather than details. If you like this style, look up womenswear to see how fashion has shaped art over time.

These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
