About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple black dress with a fitted waist and a short hem. Her hair is styled in a high, rounded bun, and she wears small green earrings and matching shoes. The dress has a subtle zigzag stitching near the hem, and her pose is relaxed, with one hand resting on her hip. The name "Croquet" is written in the corner, which might hint at a playful or unexpected detail. The drawing looks like it was made quickly, with loose lines and flat colors. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
