About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, maroon dress with vertical stripes. Her jacket has a high collar and three visible buttons. She stands with one hand in her pocket, looking off to the side. The lines are loose but confident, with quick strokes for the fabric folds. The name *Chimène* is written at the top—likely the woman’s name or the outfit’s title. The drawing feels like a quick study, maybe for fashion design. Check out Carven to see more of this artist’s work.
