About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, striped dress with a belt and a wide-brimmed hat. Her sleeves are rolled up, and she’s holding what looks like a small object in her right hand. The lines are simple but confident, with quick brushstrokes for the fabric folds. The name *Berlingot* is scrawled in the corner—maybe the dress’s design or a nickname for it. The sketch feels like a quick study, not a polished final piece. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
