About this work

This drawing depicts a woman wearing a vibrant red dress with a collar and short sleeves. The dress is knee-length, and the woman is shown from the side, with her left leg extended behind her. Her left arm is bent at the elbow, and her right arm is extended downward. The woman's hair is styled in an updo, and she appears to be wearing heels. The drawing is rendered in a loose, expressive style, with bold lines and minimal shading. The artist's use of color is striking, with the red dress standing out against the neutral background. The drawing's simplicity and elegance evoke the work of artist Carven.
