About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple green dress with a bright yellow flower painted on the front. She’s wearing a wide-brimmed hat tilted to the side, and her pose is loose and confident. The background is plain, with just a few quick lines for another figure in the corner. The word *Soleil* (French for "sun") is written in the top corner, matching the sunny yellow flower on her dress. The drawing feels quick and lively, like it was made fast.
