About this work

This is a loose, sketchy drawing of a woman in a simple outfit. She’s wearing a light pink top with a matching skirt, and her hair is pulled back under a small hat. The lines are quick and confident, with just a few shadows to show shape. The name “Fanny” is written in the corner, maybe the model’s name or the design’s title. The drawing looks like it was done fast, almost like a quick fashion note. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
