About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, elegant dress. The dress has a fitted bodice with a bow at the neck, short puffed sleeves, and a flared skirt that stops just above the knee. The fabric looks like a light, checkered pattern, and the arms are bare. The drawing is loose and quick—just enough detail to show the shape and style. The handwritten label in the corner says *"Ecole de Sèvres,"* which might hint at where this was made. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven, the artist who drew this.
