About this work

This sketch shows a woman from behind, wearing a fitted jacket with two buttons and wide pockets. Her skirt is long and straight, with a slight train. The drawing is loose and quick, using mostly black and gray lines on a light background. The name *Mouette* is written at the top—it’s the title of this work. The artist focused on the shape and flow of the clothes, not details. Next, look up Carven to see more of their fashion-inspired drawings.
