About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a fitted dress with a sweetheart neckline and a flared skirt. The dress has a bold floral print in orange and green, and the woman wears simple earrings and low heels. The lines are loose and quick, with some shading to show the fabric’s folds. The name *Eloa* is written in the corner, which might be the dress’s design name. The artist used light pencil strokes to suggest movement and texture without heavy detail. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven for more fashion sketches.
