About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress with a fitted top and a flared skirt. The dress has tiny dots scattered across it, and her hair is pulled back neatly. She stands with one hand resting on her hip, looking off to the side. The artist signed it "Pomme de pin" in the corner, which might be the dress’s name. The drawing is loose and quick, with some areas left sketchy. If you like this style of fashion drawing, look up womenswear from the 1940s.
