About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with long sleeves and a high neckline. Her legs are bare, and she stands with one foot slightly ahead of the other. The drawing is simple but bold, using strong black lines and flat colors. The name "Venimeuse" is written in the corner, which might be the title or a label. The style looks fast and loose, like a quick study rather than a finished piece. If you like this sketchy style, check out cross-hatching.
