About this work

This sketch shows a woman wearing a sleek black dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s posing with one arm outstretched. Next to her is a simpler line drawing of the same dress on a mannequin. The name *Charlotte* is written in the corner, likely the dress’s design name. The loose, confident lines give it a quick, modern feel. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
