This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress with short sleeves and a bow tied at the waist. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands against a plain light background. To the right, there’s a small drawing of the dress’s front view, showing the bow detail. The artist signed it "Corneille" in the top right corner. The loose, quick lines suggest it was drawn fast—maybe for a fashion idea rather than a finished portrait. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
