About this work

The image shows a drawing of a woman wearing a dark blue dress with a white sash tied around her waist. The dress has a collar and short sleeves, and the woman is holding a flower in her right hand. The background of the drawing is a light beige color. The woman's hair is styled in a short, neat bob, and she is standing with her left leg slightly bent. The overall effect of the drawing is one of elegance and sophistication. This drawing is reminiscent of the work of artist Marie-Louise Carven, who was known for her fashion illustrations.
