About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, elegant dress. The dress is white with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt that stops just above the knee. The sleeves are short and the neckline is square. The woman’s pose is relaxed, with one arm resting on her hip and the other hand near her side. The word "Samba" is written in the top right corner, which might hint at a connection to dance or movement. The lines are loose and confident, giving the drawing a quick, sketchy feel.
