About this work

The painting features a woman in a dark blue dress, with a full skirt and a collar that frames her face. Her brown hair is styled in a bob, and she wears high heels. To her right is a smaller drawing of the back of the dress. The woman's pose suggests she is walking or turning, with her left leg extended behind her. The dress appears to be made of a smooth fabric, possibly silk or cotton. The overall effect of the painting is one of elegance and sophistication, capturing the style of the era in which it was created.
