About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple pose, one arm bent behind her head. She’s wearing a bright turquoise dress with a deep V-neck and a pair of round sunglasses. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a quick sketch—no small details, just shapes and shadows. The artist signed it “Charleston” in the corner, which might be the title or a nickname. The turquoise color stands out against the plain background, making the dress the focus. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
