About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a dark, fitted suit with a long coat and a pleated skirt. Her arms are outstretched, and she’s holding something small in her right hand. The lines are bold and simple, with shading that makes the fabric look smooth and structured. The title "Mousquetaire" suggests a connection to musketeers, but here it’s about style. The outfit looks like it could be from the 1930s or 1940s, with clean, sharp details. Look up Carven to see more of their fashion-focused art.
