The dress is knee-length and has a bow at the back, with three-quarter-length sleeves. The woman is wearing white gloves and high heels. To the right of the woman is a small, simplified drawing of the back of the dress. The drawing is done in a simple, elegant style, with clean lines and minimal detail. The overall effect is one of understated sophistication. If you're interested in learning more about this style of drawing, you might want to look into the work of artist Marie-Louise Carven.
