About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a flowing, wide dress with a floral pattern. The skirt flares out in soft pink and white, while her arms rest confidently on her hips. She’s wearing long gloves and pointed shoes, giving her a poised look. The title, *Fausse confidence*, hints at a play on appearances—her pose looks bold, but the sketch feels quick and unfinished. The loose lines and flat colors make it feel more like a draft than a polished work. Want to see more by this artist? Check out Carven.
