About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple, elegant outfit. She wears a striped dress with dark purple and white lines, cinched at the waist with a belt. The dress has a full skirt and three-quarter sleeves, and she’s wearing low-heeled shoes. The artist focused on clean lines and a smooth, almost sketchy style. The name *Lilium* is written in the corner, which might hint at something about the design. If you like this style of fashion drawing, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
