About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a fitted purple dress with a floral pattern on the flared skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one hand on her hip. To the right, there’s a simple line drawing of the dress on a mannequin. The name "Grenadine" is written in the top corner, and the artist used loose brushstrokes for the fabric. The dress looks elegant but quick to draw. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
