About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress with a big bow at the neck. The dress is a pale green with tiny white flowers scattered across it. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s walking with one leg slightly ahead. The name *Chartreuse* is written in the corner—likely the dress color. The drawing is loose and quick, with some areas left blank to show fabric folds. Look up Marie-Louise Carven next to see more of her work.
