About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, patterned dress with one arm raised and the other resting on her hip. The lines are quick and confident, with dark ink on a light background. Her outfit looks simple but stylish, with a hint of movement in her pose. The name "Trèfle" is scribbled in the corner—it might just be a nickname for the drawing. The dress looks like something from the early 1900s, but we don’t know for sure. If you like this style, check out womenswear from the same era for more inspiration.
