About this work

This sketch shows a girl standing sideways, wearing a loose red top and a long pink skirt with dark dots. Her dark hair is pulled back, and she’s holding her skirt with one hand. The background is plain, and the drawing looks quick and simple. The notes around the edges list costume details like “white ballet slippers” and “chanille scarf.” It’s clearly a design study, not a finished portrait. Check out Jared French for more of his work—he made lots of sketches like this.
