About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, flowing dress with a wide skirt. Her sleeves are rolled up, and the fabric has a mix of blue, green, and white patterns. She stands with her hands on her hips, wearing dark gloves and a belt at her waist. The drawing looks like it was done quickly, with loose brushstrokes and a focus on shapes over details. The name "Mérou" is written at the top, but it’s unclear what it refers to. If you like this style, check out the artist Marie-Louise Carven.
