About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, flowing outfit with wide shoulders and a belted waist. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands confidently with one hand on her hip. The background is mostly blank, with just a few quick, light strokes suggesting movement or light. The artist’s signature reads *Marie-Louise Carven*, and the title *Beau temps* hints at a focus on style and fashion. The loose, sketchy lines give it a quick, almost improvised feel. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
