About this work

This sketch shows a person wearing a long red dress with a belt at the waist. The outfit has a hood covering the head, and the hands stick out from the sleeves. The drawing is loose, with quick lines and no small details. The name "Omar" is written in the corner, but we don’t know if that’s the person’s name or the title. The artist used simple shapes and bold colors to show the outfit’s shape. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
