About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, sleek dress. The dress has a fitted bodice with a V-neck and short sleeves, tapering into a long, flowing skirt. The lines are loose and quick, with light pencil strokes and a few bold outlines. The name "Himalaya" is written in the corner, but it’s unclear what that refers to. The sketch feels like a quick idea rather than a finished drawing. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
