This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black-and-white outfit. She’s wearing a fitted jacket with big lapels and a plaid skirt that flares slightly at the bottom. A small hat sits on her head, tied under her chin with a bow. The lines are loose but confident, with quick shading to show folds in the fabric. The name *Chardon* is written in the corner—maybe the outfit’s name or a code. The sketch looks like it was done fast, with light pencil strokes that still catch the shape and style clearly. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
