About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. Her hair is styled in a high, voluminous updo, and she wears simple black heels. The dress has a small floral detail near the waist and a bow at the neckline. The drawing uses loose, confident lines—no small details are overworked. The artist focused on shapes and movement, not realism. Next, look up Carven to see more of their fashion sketches.
