About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, striped outfit with a belted jacket and matching pants. Her hair is pulled back under a small cap, and she holds a small object in one hand. The lines are simple but confident, with quick shading to show folds in the fabric. The artist’s name, *Marie-Louise Carven*, is written in the corner—likely a self-reference or the model’s name. The drawing feels like a quick study, maybe for fashion design. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
