About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, black dress with bright stripes on the sleeves. She’s leaning on a railing, wearing a white headband and simple shoes. The lines are quick and confident, with some shading on her arms and skirt. The name *Caprine* is scrawled at the top—maybe a nickname for the model or the outfit. The drawing feels like a quick study, not a polished work. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
