About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, dark blue dress with a white collar. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one hand resting near her chest. The lines are loose and quick, giving the drawing a sketchy, unfinished feel. Notice how the artist used flat colors and clean shapes to focus on the dress’s cut. The name "Hirondelle" is written in the corner, which might be the dress’s name or a code. Look up Carven to see more of this artist’s work.
