This sketch shows a woman from behind, wearing a long dress with a wide skirt that flares out. Her jacket has a belt, and one hand rests on her hip while the other holds a small object. The lines are loose and quick, with some shading to show folds in the fabric. The title *Ecailles* means "scales" in French, which might hint at the dress’s texture or pattern—though it’s not clear from the drawing alone. Want to see more by the artist?
