About this work

This image presents a watercolor drawing of a woman in a green dress, with her right arm raised and left arm extended to the side. The dress is a vibrant green hue, featuring a strap that wraps around her right shoulder, while her left shoulder remains bare. The woman's face is not visible, as it is depicted without features. The woman is wearing white gloves, and her legs are visible from the knees down, clad in high heels. The background of the image is a light beige color, providing a subtle contrast to the vibrant green of the dress. The overall effect of the image is one of elegance and sophistication, with the woman's pose and attire evoking a sense of refinement and poise.
