About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long black coat with fur trim at the collar and cuffs. She stands against a plain background, her left hand tucked into her pocket. To her right, a simple sketch of a sleeveless dress is drawn in light lines. The handwritten label in the corner says *"Alicante."* The coat’s bold shape and the sketch beside her suggest this is about fashion. Look up Marie-Louise Carven next to see more of her work.
