About this work

This quick sketch shows two women standing side by side. The woman on the left wears a plain white dress with a belt that has a small, colorful design. The woman on the right has a bright, splashy floral-patterned dress with pink, yellow, and green shapes. Both have their hair pulled back neatly. The sketch feels loose and fast, like it was drawn in a hurry. The writing on the paper is in German and mentions "Gürtel" (belt) and "Blumen" (flowers). Next, look up fashion accessory to see how belts like this were used in everyday outfits.
