About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple outfit: a short jacket with buttons down the front, a straight skirt, and low heels. Her hair is pulled back neatly. In the corner, there’s a small drawing of a polka-dotted smock and another of the jacket alone. The word *Camée* is written in the top right—maybe it’s the name of the drawing or the outfit. The lines are loose but confident, like a quick fashion sketch. Want to see more? Look up Marie-Louise Carven.
