About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, knee-length dress with a loose belt. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one arm bent at the elbow. The dress has a subtle pattern, and the drawing is done in quick, loose lines with watercolor shading. The name *Joli Coeur* (pretty heart) is written in the corner, hinting at a playful touch. The artist’s signature looks like "CH," which matches Carven’s initials. Next, check out Carven for more fashion sketches like this one.
