About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a dark blue dress with a fitted bodice and flared skirt. The dress has three button flaps on the front, and she wears a matching turban-style headpiece. To the right, a simple line sketch of the dress stands alone. The handwritten label in the corner says *"Nefertari,"* but it’s unclear what that refers to here. The sketch feels like a quick study, maybe for a fashion design. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
