About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a high collar and a wide-brimmed hat. Her arms are outstretched, and the dress has a patterned yellow collar. The lines are loose and quick, giving it a sketchy, unfinished feel. The drawing is signed “Lisbonne” in the corner, which might be the model’s name or a reference. The style looks simple but confident, focusing on shape over detail. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her bold, stylish work.
