About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a dark, flowing dress and hat, holding a small fan in her right hand. Her left arm rests at her side, and she stands with one leg slightly forward. The background is plain, letting the figure stand out clearly. The artist signed it "Jean Bart" in the top-right corner, which might be the name of the woman or a title twist. The style is simple but confident, with clean lines and a focus on movement. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
