About this work

The painting depicts a woman in a blue dress with a brown belt, her dark hair styled in a neat bun. She is shown from the side, with her left arm bent at the elbow and her right arm extended downward. The woman's attire is rendered in a simple yet elegant style, with clean lines and minimal embellishments. The background of the painting is a plain white, which serves to emphasize the subject's figure. This artwork is reminiscent of the works of Marie-Louise Carven, an artist known for her fashion illustrations.
