About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple, stylish outfit. She wears a dark dress with a pattern of small black shapes on a light background. The dress has a fitted top and a flared skirt that stops just above her knees. Her hair is pulled back under a small hat, and she stands with one hand on her hip. The drawing is clean and precise, with no extra details. The name "Odéon" is written in the top-right corner, but we don’t know what it refers to. If you like fashion sketches, look up womenswear to see how clothing designs have changed over time.
