About this work

The painting depicts a woman in a yellow dress, with a matching jacket and white underskirt. Her short, curly hair is styled in a classic updo, and she wears high heels. The dress features a V-neckline and three-quarter-length sleeves. A smaller, uncolored version of the dress is visible to the right of the woman. The woman's pose suggests she is walking or turning, with her left leg extended and her right arm bent at the elbow. Her facial expression is neutral, with a subtle smile. The overall style of the painting is reminiscent of 1950s fashion illustrations. To learn more about the artist's style, explore the works of Marie-Louise Carven.
