About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black outfit with bold stripes and sharp lines. She wears a high-collared jacket, a short skirt, and a cloche hat with a feather. Her pose is confident, with one leg slightly bent and arms relaxed. In the corner, there’s a small sketch of just the jacket. The name *Iris Noir* is written in the top right, and the drawing looks like it’s part of a fashion study. The lines are simple but precise, focusing on shape and style. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
