About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length dress covered in small black dots. Her collar is folded down, and she wears a simple headband. The lines are quick and light, with just enough shading to show her shape. The artist focused on the outfit’s simple, modern look—no extra details, just the fabric and her stance. The word "Hibou" is written in the corner, which might be the name of this drawing. Try looking up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her clean, stylish designs.
