About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a short, sleeveless dress with a floral pattern. She’s wearing a wide-brimmed hat tilted slightly to one side and holding a small bag. The dress is a soft pink with darker outlines, and her legs are long and straight, ending in pointed shoes. The artist used simple, clean lines to sketch the figure, keeping the background blank. The floral pattern on the dress looks almost like a stamp, with repeated shapes. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
