About this work

The image presents a sketch of a woman in a dress, with her back turned to the viewer. The dress is adorned with a pattern of green lines and shapes, and the woman's right arm is bent at the elbow, with her hand resting on her hip. Her left arm is extended downward, and her legs are visible from the knees down. The sketch is rendered in black ink on a beige background, with a few small circles visible on the left side of the image. The overall effect is one of elegance and sophistication, with the woman's pose and attire conveying a sense of refinement.
