About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a dark, sleek dress with a fitted waist and long skirt. The dress has a deep V-neck and a belt cinching the waist, with a small scalloped trim at the hem. Her hair is short and styled neatly, and she stands with her hands resting on her hips. The loose, confident linework suggests quick, expressive strokes—almost like a fashion sketch. The title, *Séduisante* (which means "seductive" in French), hints at the dress’s allure. Next, check out Carven to see more of this artist’s bold designs.
