About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a dark blue dress with a fitted jacket and a wide, flared skirt. She’s walking, holding a small purse in one hand. Next to her is a simpler dress sketch—short sleeves, a collar, and a full skirt. The name *Lycéenne* hints this might be a schoolgirl outfit. The loose, easy lines suggest it’s meant to be worn, not just posed. If you like fashion sketches, check out womenswear.
