About this work

This drawing, titled 'Symphonie', features a woman in a white dress with a full skirt and a fitted bodice. The dress has a low, rounded neckline and short sleeves. The woman's arms are bent at the elbows, and her right hand is raised to her head. Her left hand is extended to the side, and her left leg is visible beneath the skirt. The background is a light yellow color, with some darker yellow and purple brushstrokes behind the woman. The drawing appears to be a fashion illustration, with attention to detail in the folds of the skirt and the fit of the bodice. The woman's pose suggests a sense of elegance and poise.
