About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, striped dress with short sleeves and a belt. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with her hands clasped in front of her. To the right, there’s a small drawing of the same dress from the back, showing its shape more clearly. The artist focused on the lines and folds of the fabric, keeping the drawing loose and quick. The name "Hirondelle" is written in the corner, which might hint at something about the subject or style. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
