About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple, elegant dress with a wide skirt. The top is fitted and square-necked, while the skirt has a loose, flowing shape. The fabric looks light, with green brushstrokes that suggest flowers or leaves scattered across it. She’s wearing a wide-brimmed hat and low-heeled shoes, giving the whole look a clean, airy feel. The title *Fleurs des champs* (French for "flowers of the field") hints the green marks might be meant to look like wildflowers. The sketch feels quick and loose, like a fashion study rather than a finished portrait. If you like this style, check out Carven, the artist who made it.
