About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, flowing dress with blue floral patterns. She’s wearing a wide-brimmed hat and has one hand on her hip. The dress looks light, almost like it’s made of fabric that moves easily. The name *Myosotis* is written in the corner—it’s the Greek word for forget-me-not, a small blue flower. That might hint at why the dress has those little blue shapes on it. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
