About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length dress with a deep V-neck. The fabric has a dark blue base with lighter, splattered shapes in white and gray. Her arms are relaxed at her sides, and she wears small earrings and a simple bracelet. The title, *Boule de gomme*, is written in the top-right corner—it means "rubber eraser" in French, hinting at the sketchy, unfinished look. Next, check out Carven, the artist behind this drawing.
