About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a bright red dress with a fitted top and flared skirt. She stands confidently, one hand on her hip and the other holding the dress. The dress has pockets and a simple belt at the waist. In the corner, there’s a small sketch of the dress from the front. The artist used bold lines and flat colors to keep it clean and modern. The red stands out against the plain background, making the dress the focus. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven next.
