About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, tailored suit with a long jacket and matching skirt. Her hair is short and neat, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. To the side are two quick sketches of the skirt and jacket alone, plus a back view of the jacket. The drawing looks like a quick study for a clothing design. The lines are loose but precise, focusing on shapes and fit. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
