About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a flowing green dress with a long, flared skirt. Her arms are outstretched, holding the dress open like wings. The lines are loose and quick, with some areas filled in with light shading. The title *Troïka* is written in the corner, but we don’t know what it means here. The drawing focuses on the shape and movement of the dress, not the face. Next, look up Carven to see more of this artist’s work.
