About this work

This drawing shows a woman from behind, wearing a long black dress covered in white floral patterns. Her hair is pulled up, and she’s holding a small fan in one hand. The dress flares out at the bottom, giving it a dramatic shape. The fan she holds is labeled *Eventail* in the corner—it’s a type of decorative hand fan. The artist signed it with initials, and the whole scene looks like a sketch for fashion. Next, look up Carven to see more of this artist’s work.
