About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a bright red outfit. She’s wearing a matching jacket and long skirt, with a white cap on her head. Her pose is relaxed, one hand on her hip and the other loose at her side. The sketch uses bold lines and flat colors, making the outfit stand out. The artist focused on the shape and style of the clothing, not details like fabric texture. Next, check out womenswear from the 1930s for more fashion sketches like this.
