About this work

The image presents a drawing of a woman in a light-colored suit, accompanied by a smaller drawing of the back of the jacket. The woman has short, wavy hair and is depicted in a walking pose, with her left arm extended and her right arm bent at the elbow. She wears a long-sleeved jacket with a collar and a knee-length skirt, paired with high heels. The drawing is rendered in a simple yet elegant style, with clean lines and minimal shading. The use of light colors gives the image a sense of freshness and modernity. The smaller drawing of the jacket's back adds a touch of detail and depth to the overall composition. This drawing is reminiscent of the work of Marie-Louise Carven, who was known for her designs of womenswear.
