Beret Outfit Pencil Shirt Shoulders Sketches Wright
EDITORS COMMENTS
This pencil sketch, dated around 1934, showcases a young woman who defies the conventions of her time with her androgynous outfit reminiscent of the iconic Marlene Dietrich. The woman is depicted from the back, her shoulders adorned with a fitted jacket, the collar turned up, and a shirt with a crisp white collar and a tie neatly knotted at the neck. Atop her head sits a beret, adding an air of nonch conformity and sophistication. The artist, David Wright, masterfully captures the woman's essence with delicate, expressive lines and subtle shading. The portrait exudes a sense of confidence and independence, reflecting the spirit of the 1930s when women began to challenge societal norms and embrace newfound freedom and self-expression. The intricate details of the woman's outfit, from the folds of her jacket to the texture of her beret, are rendered with remarkable precision and artistry. This stunning pencil sketch is a testament to the power of fashion as a means of self-expression and the enduring allure of the androgynous look.
