About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek purple dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The bodice has vertical lines and a row of gold buttons or embroidery near the waist. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears small earrings and simple black heels. The word *Orchidée*—French for orchid—is written in the corner, hinting at a possible floral inspiration for the design. Check out Carven, the artist behind this drawing.
