About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek navy dress with a deep V-neck and fitted waist. Her hair is curled at the ends, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The dress has a textured pattern, and there’s a simple side sketch of the dress’s front view. The title *Oiseau bleu* (Blue Bird) is written in the corner, but the drawing itself is loose and quick, almost like a fashion sketch. The artist focused on shapes and movement over details.
