The Prada Lady
1997

A sketch of a stylized woman in profile view, with exaggerated proportions, wearing a short-sleeved top and a skirt adorned with star patterns. She appears to be standing with one hand on her hip and the other holding a thin object, possibly a cane or umbrella. The drawing is monochromatic with pencil shading.
