About this work

This sketch shows a woman standing sideways, wearing a simple dress with a belted waist. Her arms are outstretched, and the lines are loose and quick, almost like a quick sketch. The colors are mostly brown and beige, with light shading to show the shape of her body and clothes. The drawing feels more like a study than a finished piece—just a few confident strokes to capture the pose and fabric. The artist’s name, *Hanneton*, is written in the corner, which might be the model’s name or a code. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
