About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress. The top is fitted with long sleeves and a high neckline, while the skirt flares out slightly at the knees. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she wears small earrings and a thin necklace. The drawing uses loose, confident lines to suggest fabric folds and movement. The name "Scarlett" is written in the top right corner, likely the dress’s design name. If you like fashion sketches, check out womenswear from the 1940s.
