About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple black outfit. She’s wearing a long skirt with a slit on one side and a matching top with a colorful stripe near the collar. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s standing with one hand resting at her side. The sketch uses bold black lines with some shading to show folds in the fabric. The artist’s signature, *Choucha*, is written at the bottom left. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
