About this work

This image depicts a woman in a black sleeveless top and a long, dark skirt with a floral pattern. She is shown in profile, facing left, with her right hand raised to her face and her left hand resting on her hip. The woman's dark hair is pulled back, and her skirt appears to be made of a lightweight material, possibly tulle or organza. The overall effect of the image is one of elegance and sophistication. The image is a drawing, likely created with a range of techniques such as cross-hatching and stippling. To learn more about the artist's use of these techniques, you might want to explore the work of Marie-Louise Carven.
