About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a bright red dress with a high collar and a small bow at the waist. Her hair is styled in a neat updo, and she’s standing with one arm outstretched, as if posing for a fashion sketch. The lines are bold and simple, with no extra details in the background. The artist signed it “Fort Henry” in the corner, which might be a nickname or a project name. The style looks clean and modern, focusing just on the outfit. If you like this kind of fashion drawing, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
