About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, elegant dress. The dress has a fitted bodice with a sweetheart neckline and a flared skirt that hits just above the knees. The fabric looks soft, with a few small dots scattered across the bodice and skirt. The title *Soleil d’or* means "golden sun," which might hint at the warm, light brown tones used here. The artist used quick, loose lines to suggest fabric folds and movement. If you like this style, look up Carven for more fashion sketches.
