About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple, clean outfit. She’s wearing a dark blue dress with a plaid jacket over it, a bright yellow top peeking out, and a matching yellow hat. Her arms are relaxed at her sides, and she’s standing against a plain, light background. The sketch is loose and quick, with bold colors and simple shapes. The artist focused on the outfit’s shapes and patterns, not details. Next, look up womenswear to see how clothing like this fits into fashion history.
