About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a bright red strapless dress with a bow tied at the waist. The skirt flares out in soft, uneven strokes of paint, giving it a loose, flowing look. Next to her is a simple line drawing of the same dress, showing the shape without color. The word "Vestale" is scrawled in the corner—likely the dress’s name. The artist used quick, confident lines to capture the fabric’s movement. Want to see more by this designer? Check out Carven.
