This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black outfit with a high collar and long sleeves. Her dress has a fitted waist and flared skirt, and she wears a wide-brimmed hat with a loose, wavy veil. The lines are loose and confident, with quick strokes that give the drawing energy. The hat’s veil is drawn with swirling, almost chaotic lines, making it stand out against the clean rest of the outfit. The artist’s name, *Marie-Louise Carven*, is signed in the corner.
