About this work

This image shows a drawing of a woman in a black dress, with her hands on her hips. The dress is a full skirt with a low-cut, sequined bodice and a high neckline. The woman has short, dark hair and is wearing long black gloves. The drawing is done in a simple style, with bold lines and minimal shading. The background is a plain beige color. The woman's pose and the style of the dress suggest that this is a fashion illustration from the 1950s. You might also want to look up artist Marie-Louise Carven.
