About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a fitted jacket and a flared skirt. Her pose is confident, one arm resting on her hip and the other holding a small bouquet. The dress has decorative stitching near the waist, and her shoes are simple but stylish. The word *Espadon* is written at the top—it might be the dress’s name. The drawing is loose and quick, focusing on shape over detail. Next, look up Carven to see more of this designer’s work.
