About this work

This sketch shows a woman from the back, wearing a bright, flowing dress with bold red, pink, orange, and green floral patterns. The dress has a fitted bodice and a wide, flared skirt that swishes around her legs. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s holding something small in her right hand. The drawing is loose and quick, with loose brushstrokes and some pencil lines. The colors pop against the plain background, making the dress look lively. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven for more fashion sketches.
