About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, dark dress with a high collar and a patterned shawl. She holds an umbrella in one hand and her coat with the other, as if stepping out into rain. The lines are simple and loose, with just a few quick strokes for her face and hair. The title *Pluie d’or* means "gold rain," but here the gold is in the shawl’s pattern, not the sky. The drawing feels quick, like a fashion sketch rather than a detailed portrait. Want to see more by this artist? Check out Carven.
