About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, elegant dress. The dress has a fitted bodice with buttons down the front and a bow at the neck. The skirt is light-colored with a dotted pattern, and the woman’s pose is relaxed, with one leg slightly bent. The name "Virginie" is written in the corner, which might be the dress’s name or the model’s. The artist used loose, quick lines to draw the fabric and details.
