About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple pose, standing sideways. She’s wearing a black top with a bright, multicolored bikini bottom that looks like it has a floral pattern. Her hair is styled in a loose, curly updo, and she’s holding her hands near her hips. The sketch is loose and quick, with bold lines and flat colors. The artist focused on shapes and patterns rather than details. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
