About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, sleek dress with a V-neck and short sleeves. The dress has small floral patterns near the waist and a small bow at the front. She stands confidently with one hand on her hip, wearing low-heeled shoes and a short haircut. Next to her is a tiny drawing of a vase with two narrow necks. The handwriting says "Grand Vizir," which might hint at a style or name tied to this drawing. The lines are loose but precise, giving the figure a lively feel. Look up Carven to see more of their fashion-focused artwork.
