About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a bright yellow dress with a fitted top and flared skirt. She’s walking, one leg slightly forward, wearing black heels and simple jewelry. The lines are bold and confident, with quick strokes that keep it loose and sketchy. The artist signed it “Langeais” in the corner—maybe a name or a fashion reference. The yellow dress stands out against the plain background, making it the clear focus. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
