About this work

This sketch shows a person in a simple pose, standing sideways with their head tilted back. They’re wearing a loose, sleeveless top with two bows on the shoulders and long, straight pants tied at the ankles. The lines are clean and confident, with just a hint of shading to suggest form. The name "Bornéo" is written in the corner, and the artist’s signature looks like "Carven." The drawing feels quick but precise, almost like a fashion sketch. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
