About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, striped dress with a high collar and three-quarter sleeves. She holds a matching coat draped over one arm, and her hair is pulled back. The lines are bold and simple, with no extra details. The title *Orient-Express* suggests this might be a travel-themed design, though the drawing itself is clean and modern. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next.
