About this work

This is a loose, sketchy drawing of a woman in a flowing dress. The fabric looks light and airy, with big purple flowers and green leaves painted on it. Her arms are out to the sides, and the skirt flares out at the bottom, showing movement. The name "Violetta" is written in the corner, maybe the dress’s name. The brushstrokes are quick and rough, like the artist was working fast. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
