About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, green outfit with a belt and pockets. Her hair is short and neat, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The lines are simple but confident, with some yellow highlights on the jacket. The name "Amanda" is signed in the corner, but we don’t know if that’s the woman’s name or just a title. The drawing feels quick and modern, like a fashion sketch. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
