This sketch shows a woman in mid-motion, arms outstretched as if dancing or gliding. She’s wearing a long, flowing dress with a high neck and loose sleeves, drawn in quick, confident strokes. The background is plain, letting the figure stand out against the light paper. The artist used loose lines and shaded areas to suggest movement, almost like a quick sketch. The name *Torpille* (which means "torpedo") hints at speed or momentum in the pose. Look up Carven to see more of their bold, modern fashion sketches.
