About this work

The image presents a drawing of a woman, depicted in a side profile view. She is attired in a white top and green pants, with her hair styled in an updo. The drawing is rendered in black and white, with the exception of the green pants, which add a pop of color to the overall composition. The woman's posture is relaxed, with her left hand resting on her hip and her right arm hanging loosely by her side. Her facial features are not clearly defined, but her overall demeanor exudes a sense of calmness and serenity. This drawing is reminiscent of the work of Marie-Louise Carven, who was known for her elegant and refined style.
