About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a dark blue dress with a white collar and cuffs. She’s wearing a hat and holding a cigarette in one hand while her other hand rests on her hip. The lines are loose and confident, with simple shading to show the shape of her body and clothes. The name *Goéland* is written in the corner, which might hint at a title or a personal touch from the artist. The style feels quick and sketchy, like a fashion study rather than a finished portrait. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
