About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, strapless dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The bodice has a few thin black lines, while the skirt is covered in small, scattered pink and blue shapes. Her hair is short and neat, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The name *Violetta* is written in the top-right corner, likely the dress’s design name. The drawing uses simple lines and light shading to suggest fabric and movement.
