About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a flowing pink and white checkered dress with a wide skirt. She’s wearing a blue hat tilted slightly to one side and holding a small object in her right hand. The lines are loose and confident, with quick shading to show folds in the fabric. The name *Groseille* is written in the corner—likely the dress’s code name. The sketch feels like a quick study, maybe for a fashion design. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
