This drawing shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a draped skirt and a matching top. Her pose is confident, with one hand resting on her hip and the other holding a small object. The sketch is simple but captures the shape of the outfit well, with loose lines and a few quick details like a floral pattern on the skirt. The title *Cocktail* hints this might be a fashion sketch for evening wear. The loose, sketchy style keeps it quick and stylish, like a rough draft for a designer. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven for more work like this.
