About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, fitted dress with a tied belt at her waist. Her hair is pulled back under a small hat, and she wears low-heeled shoes. Beside her, a flat drawing of the same dress stands upright, like a pattern. The artist used quick, loose lines to capture the shape and movement of the clothing. The focus is on the clean, modern look of the outfit—no frills, just smooth fabric and sharp angles. Want to see more work like this? Check out Marie-Louise Carven.
