This sketch shows a woman in a flowing dress with a wide, dark hat. The dress has a fitted top with puffy sleeves and a loose, leaf-like skirt covered in small black dots. Her arms are outstretched, and she’s wearing long gloves—like she’s mid-motion. The black dots on the skirt look like they might be tobacco leaves, which matches the title *Tabac blond* (French for "blond tobacco"). The drawing is loose and quick, like a fashion sketch. If you like this style, check out Carven for more work like this.
