Evening Elegance in Violet Light - Framed Watercolor

Pastel drawing on paper depicting a stylish woman in an evening gown. The figure stands gracefully in front of a softly colored background, with loose yet deliberate strokes suggesting movement and atmosphere. The artist emphasizes the flowing lines of the dress and the confident posture of the subject, using a palette of muted purples, ochres and pinks. The figure’s off-the-shoulder gown, delicate silhouette and voluminous updo suggest a stylistic reference to the Belle Époque or early 20th century, evoking the fashion and visual culture of the 1890s to 1910s. 

Initials 'G M' appear in the lower right corner, though it's unclear whether they represent the artist's signature or are part of the composition.

The dark red wooden frame and cream mount are in good condition, with only minor signs of wear visible upon close inspection.
