About this work

This sketch shows two simple figures side by side. The one on the left wears a loose, deep blue dress with short sleeves and pockets. The one on the right is in a bright swimsuit with a colorful top and a thin strap across the chest. The artist used quick, flat colors and bold outlines. The blue dress stands out against the plain background. Look up womenswear to see how clothing designs have changed over time.
