About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple, clean outfit. She wears a dark navy dress with a white collar and cuffs, cinched at the waist with a belt. The skirt flares out slightly, and she’s wearing black heels. Her hair is short and neat, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The sketch is loose and quick, with bold lines and flat colors. The artist didn’t focus on details—just the shape and flow of the clothes. The name "Hautefort" is signed in the top right corner.
