About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a mid-length dress with a fitted jacket and a flared skirt. The dress has a bold red-and-black plaid pattern, and she holds a small book or notebook in one hand. Next to her is a simple line drawing of the same outfit, showing the jacket and skirt shape. The sketch looks like a fashion study—just the clothes, no background. The name "Ecolière" is written in the corner, which might hint at a schoolgirl theme. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
