About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing wedding dress. The dress is light with a dotted pattern and has a deep V-neck with a bow at the waist. Her sleeves are sheer, and the skirt flares out dramatically, almost touching the floor. The artist used loose, confident brushstrokes to suggest movement and fabric texture. The dress looks like it’s made for a special occasion, with a veil trailing behind her. The bow at the waist adds a touch of elegance. This drawing was made in 1963 by Marie-Louise Carven. If you like this style, look up voile.
