About this work

The image depicts a woman dressed in a black and white plaid dress, with her hands on her hips. The dress features short sleeves and a knee-length skirt, and the woman wears high heels. Her hair is styled in a bob, and she has a subtle smile on her face. The drawing is rendered in black and white, with bold lines and simple shading. The overall effect is one of elegance and sophistication, with the woman exuding confidence and poise. This drawing is reminiscent of the work of artist Marie-Louise Carven, known for her fashion illustrations and designs.
