This drawing shows a woman from behind, walking away. She’s wearing a light blue coat with a wide skirt that flares out, paired with dark shoes. The lines are loose and quick, like a sketch. The artist signed it "Carven" in two spots—once on her coat, once at the bottom. The name *Giroflée* is written at the top, maybe the title or a nickname for the style. If you like this sketchy style, look up cross-hatching next.
