About this work

This drawing shows a woman from behind, wearing a loose dress with tiny white dots. Her hands rest on her hips, and she has a small bow in her hair. The lines are simple but confident, with flat colors and no shading. The sketch looks like it’s meant to show off a specific outfit—maybe even a fashion design. The name "Chantal" is written in the corner, which might be the model’s name or the dress’s name. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
