About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a draped neckline and a fitted waist. Her arm is extended, and the dress flares slightly at the bottom. The lines are loose and confident, with quick brushstrokes that suggest movement. The dress’s design looks modern, with a simple belt and a hint of a brooch at the hip. The artist signed it *Panthère noire*—which means "black panther" in French. Next, check out Carven, the artist behind this drawing.
