About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, stylish outfit. She wears a short jacket and a long, flared skirt, both in a checkered pattern of browns and tans. A small hat sits neatly on her head, and her posture is relaxed, with one arm resting at her side. The word *Automne* (French for "autumn") is written in the corner, hinting this might be a seasonal design. The loose, sketchy lines suggest it was drawn quickly, focusing on shapes over details. Look up Carven to see more of this designer’s work.
