About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, green dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The dress has a red and black floral pattern down the front, and the neckline dips low with a small bow. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one hand on her hip. The drawing is simple but precise, focusing on the dress’s shape and details. The artist signed it "Baraka" in the corner.
