About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. Her hair is short and neatly styled, and she’s wearing simple black shoes. The drawing is loose and quick, with bold lines and flat colors. The tiny sketch of the dress’s back view in the corner suggests this was a working drawing for fashion. The artist’s handwriting in the top right corner reads “Chagall,” but that might not be the woman’s name. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven, the artist who made this sketch.
