About this work

This is a simple line drawing of a woman in a green dress. The dress has a fitted top with three-quarter sleeves and a belt at the waist. The skirt is full and flared, ending just above the ankles. To the right, there’s a smaller sketch of the same dress from the back, showing the belt and the dress’s shape. The drawing looks like a fashion sketch, with clean lines and no shading. The name "Parc Monceau" is written in the top right corner, but it’s unclear if that’s the dress name or just a note. If you like this style, check out womenswear from the 1950s for more inspiration.
