About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, sleeveless dress with bold black and yellow patterns. The dress has a draped, one-shoulder style and falls just above the knees. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears simple earrings and a wide-brimmed hat. The drawing uses quick, confident lines with flat colors—no shading, just flat blocks of black, yellow, and gray. The handwritten name in the corner reads *"Bouchon."* Look up Marie-Louise Carven next to see more of her fashion sketches.
