About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, pink dress with a matching hood. The dress is loose and flows down to her ankles, while the hood covers her hair and part of her face. She’s wearing simple black shoes and has one hand resting on her hip. The bright pink color stands out against the plain background, making the outfit look bold and simple at the same time. The lines are clean and confident, almost like a sketch for a fashion design. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven for more work like this.
