About this work

This image presents a watercolor drawing of a woman in a dress, with the title "Auréole" written in the top-right corner. The woman is depicted wearing a white dress with short sleeves and a high neckline, featuring a belt around her waist and a full skirt that falls just below her knees. Her dark hair is styled in a bob, and she is shown with her arms at her sides. The dress is rendered in a light color with darker stripes, and the woman's face is not visible. The background of the drawing is a plain beige color, which helps to focus attention on the subject. The drawing is a charming representation of mid-20th-century fashion, and its simplicity and elegance make it a delightful piece to behold.
