About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a floral pattern. The dress is light pink with darker pink flowers, and it has a high collar and three-quarter sleeves. She stands with one hand resting on her hip and the other loose at her side, wearing simple shoes. The title *Jeu de grâce* hints at a focus on movement and elegance, even though the figure is still. The loose, sketchy lines make the drawing feel quick and lively. Next, check out Carven to see more of their fashion-inspired art.
