About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a fitted waist and a dotted pattern. The dress has short sleeves and a clean, straight neckline. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. To the right, there’s a simple line drawing of the dress from the back, showing the same simple shape. The handwritten note “Palma” in the corner might be the dress’s name. The artist used loose, quick lines to capture the dress’s shape and movement.
