About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple black dress with a fitted waist and flared skirt. Her hair is short and neat, and she’s posing with one hand on her hip. The dress has a small bow at the neck, and she’s wearing pointed high heels. The sketch includes a small side view of the dress, showing how it drapes. The lines are loose but confident, with quick brushstrokes. Next, look up womenswear to see how fashion has changed over time.
