About this work

This sketch shows a woman from behind, wearing a simple dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The bodice is a light brown, while the skirt is a soft pink. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The drawing uses quick, loose lines to suggest movement and fabric. The name *Brise* is written in the corner, which might hint at something about the dress or the model. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
