About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress with a long, flowing skirt. Her arms are raised, and she wears a hat with a small brim. The lines are loose and quick, giving the drawing a lively feel. The artist signed it “Grand Pardon” at the bottom. The sketch looks like it was done fast, maybe to capture a pose or a style of clothing. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
