About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a fitted dress with a bold floral print. The dress has short puffed sleeves and a flared skirt that stops just above the knee. The colors are bright—yellows, oranges, and blues—with a dark background to make the pattern pop. The word *Bouquetière* is written at the top, which might hint at the dress’s name or style. The drawing looks loose and quick, like a first idea rather than a finished design. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
