About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, green dress with a deep V-neck and a flared skirt. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she wears low-heeled shoes. The lines are loose and quick, like a fashion sketch. The name "Madame Butterfly" is written at the top, but this isn’t the opera—it’s a dress design. The artist, Carven, was known for blending fashion and art. Check out Carven to see more of their bold, stylish designs.
