About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length dress with bold black and yellow stripes. The top has short sleeves and a simple pattern near the collar. She stands with one hand on her hip and the other resting at her side, wearing low-heeled shoes. The name *Tamaris* is scrawled in the corner, and the drawing looks like it was done quickly with pencil and watercolor. The stripes on the dress are uneven, giving it a hand-drawn, sketchy feel. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
