The suit is composed of a jacket and a skirt, and the woman's hair is styled in an updo. The drawing is rendered in black and brown ink on white paper. The woman's pose and attire suggest a sense of confidence and sophistication. The use of bold lines and simple shapes gives the drawing a sense of elegance and refinement. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's use of line and shape to create a sense of elegance, you might want to look into the technique of cross-hatching.
