About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, sleek dress. The top is pink with a deep V-neck and fitted waist, while the skirt flares out softly. She’s wearing black heels and has one hand resting on her hip, the other loose at her side. The drawing uses quick, confident lines—no shading, just flat colors. The name *Daphnis* is scrawled in the corner, but we don’t know why. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
