About this work

This is a simple line drawing of a woman in a blue dress. The dress has a fitted top with wavy lines and a flared skirt with vertical stripes. Her pose is relaxed, with one hand on her hip and the other resting by her side. The drawing uses loose, sketchy lines, giving it a quick, unfinished look. The blue tones stand out against the light background. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
