About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, flowing dress with dark splashes on a light background. She’s holding a hat over her head with one hand while her other arm rests behind her back. The lines are quick and confident, with some areas left plain and others filled in with light strokes. The name *Marbre* is written in the corner—likely a nod to the dress’s stone-like pattern or the artist’s style. The sketch feels like a fast, rough draft, almost like a fashion doodle. If you like this sketchy style, look up Carven for more of his work.
