About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a dark navy suit with a white collar and tie. She’s wearing a matching hat with a little bow and long gloves. Her legs are crossed at the ankle, and she’s holding her left arm up like she’s mid-stride. The name “Jabot” is written in the top-right corner, which might refer to the white collar detail. The loose, sketchy lines give it a quick, almost fashion-sketch feel. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
