About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, sleeveless dress with bold zigzag patterns. She wears a wide-brimmed hat and holds a small fan in one hand. The lines are simple but confident, with quick strokes for the dress and hat. The title, *Bout de zam*, is scrawled in the corner—maybe a playful name for the outfit. The zigzag pattern looks like a quick way to fill in the fabric without too much detail. If you like this style, check out Carven for more fashion sketches.
