About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, dark red dress with a fitted waist and flared skirt. She’s wearing a matching jacket with rolled sleeves and holds a small purse. The lines are loose and quick, with some shading to show folds in the fabric. The name “Caroline” is written at the top—likely the dress’s name. The artist’s signature is faint in the corner, but it’s hard to read. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
