About this work

This image is a drawing of a woman wearing a red dress and a hat. The woman is facing to the right, and her body is turned slightly towards the viewer. The dress has a high neckline and long sleeves, and it falls just below the woman's knees. The hat is a pillbox style, and it is pulled down over the woman's forehead. The drawing is done in a simple, yet elegant style. The lines are clean and smooth, and the colors are muted. The overall effect is one of understated sophistication. The artist who created this drawing is Marie-Louise Carven.
