About this work

This sketch shows a woman standing sideways with her arms raised. She’s wearing a sleeveless outfit with fringe around the neckline and waist. Her hair is styled in a big, voluminous shape, almost like a crown. The lines are loose and quick, with some shading on her arms and legs. The name *Antiova* is signed in the corner, but we don’t know who she is. The drawing looks like it was done fast, with a few quick strokes for movement. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
