About this work

This drawing depicts a woman in a green dress, viewed from the side. The dress features a sleeveless design with a round neckline and a full skirt that appears to be pleated. The woman's short, dark hair is styled in a bob. Her right arm is bent at the elbow, with her hand near her face, while her left arm is extended downward. The background of the drawing is a light beige color. A small, simple sketch of the back of the dress is visible in the bottom-right corner of the drawing. The overall style of the drawing suggests a focus on fashion illustration. If you're interested in learning more about fashion illustration, you might want to explore the subject of womenswear.
