About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, dark blue dress with bright gold swirls and buttons. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one hand on her hip. The background is plain, letting the bold colors pop. The gold patterns on her dress look like they’re made of quick, loose brushstrokes—almost like a splash of paint. The artist signed it "Poisson d'or," which means "goldfish" in French. Next, look up Carven to see more of their fashion-inspired art.
