About this work

The image features a drawing of a woman in a black dress with a full skirt, adorned with a pattern of dark leaves. Her hair is styled in an updo, and she wears high heels. The dress has a square neckline and short sleeves, with a fitted bodice that flares out at the waist. The woman's left leg is extended in front of her, while her right leg is bent behind her. The drawing is rendered in a simple yet elegant style, with clean lines and minimal shading. The overall effect is one of understated sophistication. This drawing is reminiscent of the work of artist Marie-Louise Carven.
