About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a flowing, strapless dress with a wide skirt. Her arms are raised, one hand resting on her head. The dress has a floral pattern near the bodice and soft, blended stripes in the skirt. The lines are loose but confident, with quick brushstrokes and watercolor washes. The title *Fleur d’or* hints at a floral or golden theme—maybe the dress or the sketch itself. The handwritten note "Carven" suggests the artist’s name, which is also the only clue here.
