About this work

This sketch shows a woman walking sideways, dressed in a simple black dress with a draped skirt and a loose top. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears low-heeled shoes. The lines are quick and confident, with light shading to show folds in the fabric. The title *Météore* is written in the top corner—maybe it’s the dress’s name or just the artist’s whim. The drawing feels fresh and modern, like a quick snapshot of style. If you like this sketch, look up Marie-Louise Carven next.
