About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a fitted bodice and a wide skirt. The dress has a light blue floral pattern near the waist, and the skirt flares out dramatically. Her hair is pulled up neatly, and she stands against a plain background. The name *Evangéline* is written in the corner, hinting at a possible story or inspiration behind the drawing. The loose, quick lines suggest the artist worked fast, focusing on shape and movement over detail. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
