About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a fitted top and a flared skirt. The dress has black lace-like patterns and sheer fabric at the bottom, while the top is solid with a simple neckline. Her pose is relaxed, with one hand resting on her head and the other arm bent at the side. The word *"Mexicana"* is written in the corner, hinting at a cultural or regional theme. The drawing looks like it was made quickly, with loose lines and watercolor shading. Look up Carven next to see more of their fashion sketches.
