About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length dress with a teal background and red circles scattered across it. The dress has a fitted bodice with a red trim at the neckline and waist. She’s wearing simple black heels and her hair is pulled back. The lines are quick and confident, with watercolor added for color. The word *Fraisette* is written at the top—it might be the dress’s name. The sketch feels like a quick study, not a polished work. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
