About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a high collar and beaded neckline. She’s holding a tall, narrow vase in one hand and has a loose, slightly bent posture. The lines are simple and confident, with quick strokes that leave some areas bare. The signature says "Carven," and the word *Pampilles* might hint at a design name or style. The drawing feels quick, like a first idea rather than a finished work. Look up Carven to see more of their fashion sketches.
