About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, purple dress with a speckled pattern. The skirt flares wide, and the top has short sleeves and a simple neckline. Next to her is a quick outline of the same dress from the back, showing a tie at the waist. The name "Violaine" is written in the corner, which might be the dress’s name. The artist used quick, confident strokes to show fabric and movement. Look up Carven to see more of their fashion sketches.
