About this work

The painting shows a woman in a green dress, with a matching headband and gloves. She is wearing a pearl necklace and has brown hair styled in an updo. The dress is sleeveless and has a full skirt that falls just below the knee. The woman is standing with her left leg slightly bent, and her right hand is resting on her hip. To the right of the woman is a small drawing of the back of the dress, which appears to be a design sketch. The background of the painting is a light beige color, with some faint red lines visible behind the woman. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Marie-Louise Carven.
