About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black outfit. She’s wearing a short jacket with a belt over a knee-length skirt. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. To the right, there’s a small drawing of just the jacket and skirt. The drawing looks like it was done quickly, with loose lines and no extra details. The woman’s pose is confident, and the clothes look modern. Next, check out womenswear from the 1940s to see how fashion changed around this time.
