About this work

This sketch shows three quick, loose drawings of a dress. One is a full-front view, another a three-quarter front, and the last a side view. The lines are rough and uneven, like hurried notes. There’s no detail beyond the basic shape—just enough to recognize a garment. The date and title are scrawled in the corner: *"Dark Event I, R. 11.1.70."* The artist used light pencil strokes and a bit of gouache for shading, but it’s all very simple.
