About this work

This drawing depicts a woman in a blue outfit, with her hands on her hips. She wears a blue jacket over a white shirt and a blue skirt, paired with white gloves. The drawing is done in a simple style, with bold lines and minimal shading. The woman's pose suggests confidence and poise, and her outfit appears to be a stylish ensemble from the 1950s. The drawing's simplicity belies its charm, and the subject's expression is enigmatic. If you're interested in learning more about the artist behind this drawing, you might want to look up Marie-Louise Carven.
