About this work

This drawing shows a woman wearing a plaid suit. The suit has a jacket with a lapel and pockets, and a pencil skirt. The woman's hands are on her hips, and her head is turned to the side. The drawing is done in a simple style, with bold lines and minimal shading. The plaid pattern of the suit is rendered in a loose, sketchy way. The overall effect is one of elegance and sophistication. If you like this drawing, you might also like to look at other works by the artist, Marie-Louise Carven.
