About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress with a high neck and long sleeves. Her hands rest on her hips, and she wears low-heeled shoes. The dress has a textured look, almost like woven lines, and the drawing is loose and quick. The name *Yasmine* is written in the corner, but we don’t know if that’s the person’s name or just a label. The style feels modern and clean, focusing on the shape of the clothing rather than details. If you like this kind of fashion drawing, check out womenswear from the 1940s–50s for more examples.
