About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length jacket and matching skirt. The outfit is made of a light brown fabric with a subtle checkered pattern. The jacket has a belted waist and big pockets, while the skirt flares slightly at the bottom. The drawing is simple but precise, with clean lines and soft shading. The artist’s name, "Carven," is signed at the bottom left. Look up Marie-Louise Carven next to see more of her fashion sketches.
