About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a dark, textured outfit with a fitted jacket and a flared skirt. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one hand on her hip. Next to her is a simple dress drawing, also in black and white. The artist focused on the fabric’s details, like the skirt’s pleats and the jacket’s buttons. The name "Sonia" is written in the corner, likely the model’s name. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven next.
