About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing red dress with a simple one-shoulder design. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. Next to her is a smaller drawing of the same dress, shown from the front to highlight its shape. The artist used quick, loose lines to capture the dress’s movement and fabric folds. The red color stands out against the plain background, making the dress the focus. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven, the artist behind this sketch.
