About this work

This sketch shows a woman walking, dressed in a simple coat and skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she carries a blue object under her arm. The lines are loose and quick, with light watercolor strokes for shading. The name "Emigrette" is written in the top right corner, likely the title of the work. The drawing feels fresh and unfinished, like a quick observation. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
