About this work

This drawing depicts a woman from behind, wearing a white blouse and light blue pants. Her hair is styled in an updo, and she stands with her weight shifted onto her right leg. A small sketch of the pants is placed to the right of the figure. The woman's attire is rendered in soft, muted colors, while the background of the drawing remains a clean white. The overall effect is one of understated elegance, with the focus squarely on the subject's gentle pose. For more information on the artist behind this piece, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
