About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress with a belt at the waist. Her sleeves are rolled up, and she’s wearing a hat with a small brim. The lines are loose and quick, giving the drawing a lively feel. The title *Jeu de Siam* suggests this might be a design for a play or costume. The sketch looks like a quick study, not a finished work. Look up ensemble to see how costumes like this were used in theater.

Carven

These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
