About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress with short sleeves and a straight skirt. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one hand resting at her side. To the right, there’s a small drawing of the dress from the back, showing buttons down the front. The title *Enroulée* hints at the dress’s wrapped or twisted design—notice how the fabric looks smooth and snug. The sketch is loose and quick, focusing on shapes over details. Want to see more?
