About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, light green suit with a matching jacket and pants. She stands confidently, one hand in her pocket, wearing low heels and a small hat. The lines are clean and loose, with a small jacket sketch in the corner. The outfit looks like it’s from the mid-20th century, with a neat, boxy shape. The word "Citron" is written in the corner, maybe the name of the design or color. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
