About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing blue dress covered in swirling floral patterns. The fabric looks soft and moves with her, while her pose is relaxed but elegant. The background is plain, keeping all focus on the dress and her simple hairstyle. The name "Chartreuse de Parme" is written at the top, which might hint at a connection to a place or story. The artist’s signature is small but clear in the corner. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
