About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, sleeveless dress with a wide, flowing skirt. The skirt has a bold pattern of blue splashes on a light background, and the dress fits loosely at the shoulders. Her hair is styled simply, and she stands with one leg slightly ahead, giving a sense of movement. The name "Cheverny" is written in the top-right corner, possibly the dress’s design name. The small sketch in the bottom-right corner shows the dress from the back, giving a clearer view of its shape. Look up Carven to see more of this artist’s fashion sketches.
