She wears a wide-brimmed hat and a dress with a patterned top and a gathered skirt. The drawing is rendered in a simple, yet elegant style, with clean lines and minimal shading. The overall effect is one of understated sophistication. If you're interested in learning more about the artist behind this piece, you might want to look up Marie-Louise Carven.
