About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple, loose dress with a belt at the waist. She’s holding a small cup near her mouth, and her hair is pulled back neatly. Next to her is a tiny sketch of the same outfit from the front, showing just the lines of the dress and shoes. The artist focused on clean shapes and easy lines, making the drawing look quick but polished. The word *Megève* is written in the corner—maybe that’s where the outfit was meant to be worn.
