About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, elegant evening gown. The dress has a deep V-neck, short puffed sleeves, and a wide skirt with a slight train. The fabric looks soft and flowing, with a few brushstrokes suggesting texture. Her pose is relaxed, with one hand resting on her hip. The title *Robe d'un soir* (which means "evening dress" in French) hints this was meant for a special night out. The drawing feels quick and confident, like a first idea rather than a finished design. If you like this style, look up Carven for more fashion sketches.
