About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, dark green dress with a tied waist and long sleeves. Her legs are straight, and she stands on one leg slightly bent. Next to her is a smaller drawing of the dress front, showing the tie detail. The note "vert olive" means the dress color is olive green. The loose, flowing style looks easy to move in.
