About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, dark blue outfit. She’s wearing a matching jacket and skirt with white trim, paired with black heels. Her hair is styled in a short, rounded bob, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The drawing looks loose and quick, with bold lines and flat colors. The artist focused on the shape of the clothes rather than details. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
