About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a bright green strapless dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one hand on her hip. The background is plain, letting the dress stand out. The name "Val d'or" is written at the top—it might mean something about the dress or the artist’s idea. The loose, quick lines suggest it was drawn fast, maybe just to capture the shape and color. Try looking up Carven to see more of their work.
