About this work

The painting depicts a woman in a dress, with her left hand on her hip and her right arm relaxed by her side. She has short red hair and is wearing a floral dress with a full skirt and a bow at the neckline. The dress is knee-length and has short sleeves. To the right of the woman is a simple drawing of a dress with a full skirt and short sleeves, similar to the one she is wearing. The background of the painting is a light beige color. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Carven, an artist known for his fashion illustrations.
