About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, green gown with a fitted bodice and a wide, flowing skirt. The dress has a bold black outline and a beaded neckline with a few red accents. Her hair is pulled up neatly, and she wears gloves and a small necklace. The drawing is loose and quick, with bold strokes and some watercolor shading. The number "183" and the name "Katoussil" are written in the corner, but we don’t know what they mean here. Check out more by artist: Marie-Louise Carven.
