About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a blue floral outfit with a matching jacket and pants. Her hair is short and neat, and she’s standing sideways, one hand on her hip. Next to her is a simpler line drawing of the same outfit from the back. The name *Madeleine Bastille* is written at the top, likely the model’s name. The drawing looks like a fashion study—just shapes and colors to show how the clothes fit. Want to see more? Check out Carven, the artist behind this sketch.
