About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing blue dress with a fitted top and a wide, flared skirt. Her hair is pulled back under a small hat, and she wears simple jewelry. The lines are loose and quick, with watercolor strokes giving the dress a soft, shimmering look. In the corner, there’s a smaller, simpler outline of the same dress. The drawing feels almost like a quick fashion sketch, capturing movement without too much detail. The blue dress stands out against the light background, making it the focus.
