About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, knee-length dress with short sleeves. The dress has a light background with brown splatters or dots, and the front is gathered into vertical pleats. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one leg slightly forward. The handwritten notes label it as a "toile"—a practice sketch for a garment. The artist’s signature in the corner reads "Carven." Look up Carven to see more of their fashion designs.
