About this work

The image presents a drawing of a woman wearing a dress, with a smaller drawing of the back of the dress to her right. The woman has short white hair and is depicted in a three-quarter view, facing left. Her dress features a plaid pattern in shades of brown, pink, and green, with a belt around her waist and a collar that is folded down. The dress appears to be a mid-length, A-line style with a flared skirt. The woman's left arm is bent at the elbow, and her right arm is straight by her side. The background of the drawing is a plain off-white color. This drawing is reminiscent of the work of Marie-Louise Carven, an artist known for her fashion illustrations.
