About this work

This sketch shows a woman standing sideways, wearing a simple gray dress and low-heeled shoes. Her arms are relaxed at her sides, and her hair is pulled back neatly. To the right, there’s a smaller drawing of the same dress, flat and unfolded like a pattern. The handwriting in the corner says "Murillo 177," which might be a note from the artist. The drawing looks like it was made quickly, with loose lines and light shading. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
