About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, loose outfit with bold brown-and-green leafy patterns. Her arms are outstretched, one hand relaxed, the other slightly bent. The lines are quick and confident, almost like a quick sketch. The background is just plain paper. The outfit looks like a one-piece jumpsuit with a collar and short sleeves. The pattern is simple but stands out against the light background. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her clean, bold designs.
