About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a sleek black outfit with a high neckline and long sleeves. Her hair is styled in a short, neat updo, and she wears simple black shoes. The outfit looks smooth and polished, with a slight bow at the collar. The sketch includes small side drawings of the outfit’s front and back views, showing how it fits. The label says "Mont Genève," which might be the outfit’s name. Next, look up ensemble to see how clothing designs like this one are described.
