About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple outfit. She’s wearing a light pink jacket with big lapels, a matching pleated skirt, and low-heeled shoes. Her arms are relaxed at her sides, and her hair is pulled back neatly. The sketch uses clean lines and soft shading to keep it loose and quick. The name *Elisabeth* is written at the top, but we don’t know if that’s the woman’s name or just a label. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
