About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a wide skirt. The fabric has a loose, airy look, with dark green and pink floral splashes. Her sleeves are puffy, and the dress flares out at the bottom, almost like a cloud of fabric. The handwriting at the top says *Ecole du Louvre*, which might hint at where the artist studied. The brushstrokes are quick and confident, with some areas left lighter to show folds. If you like fashion sketches, check out Carven for more designs like this.

These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
