About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, loose outfit with a belted jacket and a knee-length dress. The fabric looks woven, with a grid-like pattern. Her hands are tucked into her pockets, and her hair is short and neat. The title *Les mains rouges* (red hands) hints at something missing—this sketch might have been part of a larger work where the hands were colored red. Next, look up Carven to see more of their fashion-focused art.
