About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a bright red dress with a short skirt and long sleeves. She’s wearing a wide-brimmed black hat and black shoes, and her pose is relaxed, like she’s just standing. The background has a red square with scribbled lines and a few loose brushstrokes. The artist used simple shapes and bold colors instead of detailed lines. Notice the dress has a striped pattern on the skirt—it’s almost like fabric swatches were glued onto the page. Look up organdy to see how this fabric’s light, flowing look fits into the drawing.
