About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, dark green dress with a fitted waist and a flared skirt. She’s walking, one arm bent at the elbow, holding something small in her hand. The dress has a few round buttons down the front, and her hair is pulled back neatly. The name *Patricia* is written in the top-right corner, likely the model’s name. The style looks simple but polished, like something from the mid-20th century. If you like fashion sketches, look up womenswear from the 1950s for more examples.
