About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple pose, standing with one hand on her hip. She’s wearing a sleeveless dress covered in small black dots, a wide-brimmed hat, and pointed shoes. The lines are loose and quick, with flat colors and no shading. The dots on her dress look random but fit together neatly, almost like a pattern. The artist signed it with initials in the corner.
