About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress with a tied belt at the waist. The outfit has loose sleeves and a light, airy fabric that moves slightly around her legs. The drawing is loose and quick, with just a few lines to suggest the shape and folds. The artist signed it “Vasco” in the corner—likely a nickname or model’s name. The style looks like it’s meant to show how the dress would look in real life, not just as a flat design. If you like this kind of fashion drawing, check out Carven.
