About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, one-shoulder dress. The dress is green with a few pink flowers scattered down the front. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s standing with one leg slightly forward, arms relaxed at her sides. The handwritten label in the corner reads *Toison d’or*—French for “Golden Fleece.” The flowers on the dress are the only decoration, keeping the look clean and modern. Look up Carven next to see more of their fashion sketches.
