About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a flowing, light-blue dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The skirt has a subtle floral pattern in soft green and white. She’s wearing simple high heels and her hair is styled in a neat updo. The lines are loose and confident, with quick brushstrokes that keep it lively. The name *Narcisse* is written at the top, and the artist’s signature *Carven* appears in the corner. The sketch feels like a quick study of a dress design—maybe for a special outfit. If you like this style, check out Carven for more fashion-inspired art.
