About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The dress has a light base color with loose, wavy blue lines scattered across it. Her pose is relaxed, with one hand resting on her hip and her head slightly tilted. The name *Angélique* is written in the corner, which might be the dress’s design name or the woman’s name. The loose brushstrokes and quick lines give it a lively, hand-drawn feel. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
