About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, loose-fitting suit with a high collar and wide lapels. The jacket is grayish-blue, and the matching pants hit just above her ankles. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands on one leg, one arm resting at her side. The drawing includes a flat, black-and-white outline of the same outfit from the back, showing the jacket’s back seam and the pants’ length. The artist’s name, *Djinns* and a number are written in the top right corner. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
