About this work

This sketch shows a woman standing straight, arms crossed. She wears a sleeveless dress with a bold black floral pattern—big circles and swirls on a light background. The lines are loose but confident, with quick strokes for her hair and face. The title *Tulipes noires* hints the flowers might be tulips, though they look more like abstract shapes. The dress’s simplicity contrasts with the busy pattern, making her pose feel modern. Want to see more? Look up Carven for other fashion sketches like this one.
