About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The skirt has bold, abstract brushstrokes in blues, yellows, and oranges. Her hair is styled short, and she stands confidently with one hand on her hip. The word *Fresque* is written in the corner—likely a nickname for this design. There’s also a simple side-view sketch of the dress on the right. Look up Carven to see more of this artist’s bold fashion sketches.
