About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sharp, fitted suit and long skirt. The jacket has a checkered pattern and three visible buttons. Her hands peek out from the sleeves, holding nothing. The skirt flares slightly at the bottom, and she wears a small, pointed hat. The drawing looks loose and quick, with bold lines and flat colors. The artist kept details simple but focused on the outfit’s clean shapes. Check out Marie-Louise Carven for more of her fashion sketches.
