About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a bright red dress with a bold black leaf pattern. The dress has a fitted waist, long sleeves, and a flared skirt that stops just above the knee. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she wears simple black heels. The drawing is loose and quick, with confident strokes that focus on shape over detail. The word "Toréador" is scrawled in the corner, hinting at a possible inspiration or name for the design. If you like this style, check out more work by Carven.
