About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a dark, patterned dress with short sleeves and a flared skirt. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she wears simple black heels. The dress has a lace trim at the hem, and the pattern looks like swirls or flowers. The title *Flirt* hints this might be a fashion sketch—Carven was known for designing clothes. The sketch’s loose lines and quick strokes make it feel like a quick idea rather than a finished portrait. Want to see more? Look up Marie-Louise Carven for her other fashion designs.
