About this work

This drawing shows a woman walking sideways, dressed in a simple sleeveless dress tied at the waist. Her hair is short and neatly styled, and she wears low-heeled shoes. The lines are loose and quick, with soft watercolor shading for her skin and clothes. The dress looks like it’s made of lightweight fabric, gathered at the waist with a bow. The artist kept the background plain, focusing all attention on the figure’s movement and the fabric’s shape. Want to see more work like this? Check out Marie-Louise Carven.
