About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, red dress with a high collar and long sleeves. Her skirt flares out slightly, and she’s striking a pose with one arm stretched out and the other hand on her hip. The lines are quick and confident, with some shading to show folds in the fabric. The name *Chat sauvage* is written at the top—it might refer to the dress or the pose. The sketch looks like it was done fast, maybe for fashion work. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her style.
