About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, dark dress with white swirls and a red feather trailing from her heel. Her hair is pulled back, and she holds a small, round fan in one hand. The background is plain, letting the bold black-and-white pattern stand out. Notice how the dress’s design looks almost like a sketch—simple lines and flat colors. The fan she holds is tiny but detailed, adding a touch of elegance. Want to see more like this? Check out cross-hatching.
