About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, sleeveless dress with a deep V-neck and a flared skirt. She’s holding a small object in her right hand, and her hair is styled in a short, neat updo. Beside her is a quick sketch of the same dress from the back, showing the shape of the waist and hem. The drawing uses loose, confident lines and soft watercolor shades—mostly peach and beige. The artist focused on the dress’s shape and movement, not details. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
