About this work

This sketch shows a woman from the back, wearing a simple outfit. Her yellow top has a dark collar and buttons down the front. The skirt is brown with a straight line across the front. She’s also wearing a light-colored headscarf. The drawing is loose and quick, like a rough draft. The artist didn’t focus on details—just the shape and movement of the clothes. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
