About this work

This sketch shows a woman walking sideways, dressed in a loose pink dress with a big bow at the waist. The dress has a pattern of small shapes, and the skirt flares out wide. Her arms are relaxed at her sides, and she’s wearing simple shoes. The name *Boucle d’or* (which means “Golden Lock” in French) might hint at the golden bow on her dress. The drawing is clean and simple, with just a few lines and colors. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
