About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, belted jacket and a long, flowing skirt. The lines are simple but confident, with quick strokes that suggest fabric folds. The whole drawing is mostly grayish-blue, with a few darker lines for definition. The jacket’s sharp lapels and the skirt’s wide hem look like 1950s style. The artist signed it “St. Sébastien,” but the name might just be a shorthand. Next, look up Carven to see more of their fashion-focused art.
