About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, light-colored dress with a short cape. The dress has a deep V-neck and a flared skirt, decorated with quick, sketchy floral designs. Her arms are relaxed at her sides, and the drawing uses soft brown and gray lines. The name *Eglantine* is written at the top—maybe the dress’s name or a code. The artist used loose, quick strokes, almost like a fashion sketch. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
