About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, tailored outfit. She wears a short jacket with two buttons, a matching skirt, and low-heeled shoes. Her hair is pulled back under a small hat, and she holds a small bag in one hand. The drawing uses loose, quick lines to show the shape of the clothes. The artist focused on the clean lines of the suit, not details like fabric texture. Check out Marie-Louise Carven for more sketches like this.
