About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing wedding dress with a scalloped hem. The dress has a simple neckline and short puffed sleeves. She wears a veil that spreads out behind her, attached to a headpiece with a small bow. The dress looks light and airy, with tiny dots scattered across the fabric. The artist used loose, quick brushstrokes to keep it simple and elegant. Next, look up voile, headscarf, veil to see how they’ve changed over time.
