About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, loose outfit. She’s wearing a short jacket with rolled-up sleeves and a long, straight skirt that falls past her knees. Her pose is relaxed, one hand resting on her hip and the other holding a small object. The lines are quick and confident, with just a few shadows to show shape. The name *Aublade* is written in the corner—maybe the outfit’s design name. The drawing feels like a quick study, not a finished piece. The clothes look practical but stylish, like something from the early 1950s. If you like this style, check out womenswear from the same era for more details.
