About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a dark, fitted dress with a high collar and short puffed sleeves. Her skirt flares out slightly, and she wears a small hat with curled hair underneath. To the right, there’s a simple line drawing of the same dress from the front. The word *Lampions* is written in the corner—maybe it’s the dress’s name. The artist used loose, sketchy lines for the woman and cleaner lines for the dress sketch. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
