About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, sleek dress with short sleeves and a straight skirt. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The lines are loose and quick, with just a few watercolor-like brushstrokes for shading. The title *Coeur de Pierre* (which means "heart of stone") hints at something harder or more reserved beneath the surface. The drawing feels like a quick study, maybe for a fashion design. If you like this style, look up Carven for more of their work.
