About this work

This sketch shows a woman from behind, wearing a long, flowing dress with a floral pattern. Her hair is pulled up, and she’s standing with one leg slightly bent. The dress has a draped neckline and a few loose brushstrokes for the flowers. The artist used quick, loose lines to suggest fabric and movement, keeping the focus on the dress’s shape. The floral pattern is simple but adds a touch of detail. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion-inspired drawings.
