About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a dark, boxy suit with a high-collared jacket and matching skirt. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she wears simple black shoes. To the right, there’s a flat drawing of the same jacket and skirt, like a pattern. The name *Bérézina* is written in the corner, and the drawing looks like it was made to show how the outfit fits. The lines are bold and confident, almost like a fashion sketch. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
