About this work

This sketch shows a woman from behind in a long, flowing wedding dress. The gown has a high neckline and lace sleeves with floral patterns. A long veil covers her head and drapes down her back. The quick, loose brushstrokes give the drawing a sketchy, unfinished feel. The focus is on the fabric’s folds and the veil’s texture. Next, look up voile to see how this simple piece of cloth carries so much meaning in art.
