About this work

This is a quick, loose drawing of a woman in a suit. She stands with one hand in her pocket, jacket unbuttoned, and a tie with a small colorful pattern at her collar. The lines are simple, almost like a sketch, with light shading for her face and clothes. The artist signed it *"Escale"* in the corner. The tie’s tiny design stands out against the plain suit.
