About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, loose dress with big pockets and a green hat. Her sleeves are rolled up, and she’s holding a small object in one hand. The lines are quick and confident, with flat colors—no shading. The background is just plain paper. The title *Week-end* hints this might be a casual outfit for a day out, not formal wear. The artist used bold outlines and minimal detail, which makes the figure look modern and easygoing. If you like this style, check out Carven.
