This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a fitted top and a wide, flowing skirt. Her hair is pulled up neatly, and she wears simple jewelry—a bracelet and earrings. The drawing is loose and quick, with bold lines and shading that give the dress texture. The handwritten label "Oiseau rare" (rare bird) hints this might be a special or unique design. The sketch feels like a quick study, not a finished portrait. Look up Carven to see more of their fashion designs.
