About this work

This drawing, titled "Panda", showcases a woman dressed in a black and white patterned dress. The dress features a collar, three-quarter sleeves, and a full skirt that falls just below the knee. The woman's hands are placed on her hips, and she wears black gloves, white heels, and has short, dark hair. The drawing is rendered in a simple yet elegant style, with bold lines and minimal shading. The overall effect is one of understated sophistication, with the woman's pose and attire conveying a sense of confidence and poise. The drawing is held at the Museum of Ethnography, where it can be viewed by visitors interested in fashion and art. For more information on the artist's use of bold lines and minimal shading, look up the technique of cross-hatching.
