About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, dark blue outfit with wide legs and a matching jacket. She wears a wide-brimmed hat tilted slightly to the side, and her arms are crossed. The lines are simple and confident, with quick strokes for the face and hands. The name *Candide* is written at the top—maybe it’s the woman’s name or the drawing’s title. The outfit looks like something from the early 1900s, with a relaxed, modern feel. If you like this style, look up Carven for more fashion sketches.
