About this work

This sketch shows two women’s outfits drawn in quick, loose lines. The left figure wears a plaid jacket with a long skirt split into vertical panels, and the right figure has a sleeveless dress with a tiered, fringe-like bottom. A smaller drawing of a matching jacket sits in the corner. The name *Joséphine* is written at the top, and the artist’s handwriting is simple and direct. The clothes look like they’re from the early 1900s, with clean lines and a focus on fabric folds. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
