About this work

This sketch shows two women in loose, blue-patterned dresses. The lines are quick and simple, with just a few strokes for faces and hands. Both outfits have dark trim around collars and cuffs, and one dress has a belt. The name *Bleuêt* is scrawled in the corner—it’s just a word, not a title about the colors. The drawing feels more like a quick idea than a finished work. If you like this loose style, look up cross-hatching next.
