It is one of a group of drawings that feature suits for the mid-century working woman. We purchased these in Paris. See more in our shop (or ask about others in the series). The drawing is on heavy stock paper and done in gouache, pen and ink, and pencil. It is numbered and it shows a rear view. The drawing showcases a 2 piece suit with a cinched waist. Feminine yet tailored, the suit has a pencil skirt, a peplum style jacket which is nipped at the waist and covered buttons. There is wonderful black scalloped detail on both the collar and jacket pockets. Note too the hat, the classic pumpss and the red lipstick! This design is highly stylized with great posturing, gesturing and hint of attitude and FUN! The drawing is in excellent clean condition with strong contrasting charcoal gray color. 7.5 x 11.5 inches in size. Comes matted in a netral tone 16 x 20 inch custom mat ready for a standard size frame. less
