About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a strapless dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The skirt has bold, colorful swirls in greens, blues, and reds. The dress looks simple but has a structured shape with clean lines. The word "Ispahan" is written at the top, which might be the dress’s name. The sketch is loose and quick, with some areas filled in lightly. If you like this style, look up *cross-hatching* to see how artists build texture with lines.
