About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a bright yellow outfit with bold black stripes. She’s walking, holding a small black purse in one hand. The dress has sharp angles and a loose fit, with a high collar and long sleeves. Her hair is pulled back under a headband, and she’s wearing simple shoes. The stripes on her clothes are drawn with quick, clean lines—almost like a pattern. The whole look feels modern and a little sporty for its time. If you like this style, look up womenswear from the 1930s to see how fashion changed then.
