About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple, loose orange dress with short sleeves and a round collar. She stands with one hand in her pocket and the other resting outside, her head slightly tilted. Next to her is a flat sketch of the same dress, drawn in black lines. The artist used quick, confident strokes to show the fabric’s folds and the woman’s stance. The orange color stands out against the light background, making the dress look warm and easy. Want to see more? Check out Marie-Louise Carven.
