Artist

The image depicts a woman seen from the back, standing on a step with her left arm extended upwards and her right arm raised near her head. She has shoulder-length wavy hair, and is wearing a dress with a fitted bodice and a flowing, layered skirt. The drawing shows folds and pleats in the skirt, and the woman appears to not be wearing jewelry. The background is plain textured paper.
