About this work

This drawing depicts a woman in a white dress, with a full skirt and a strapless top. The dress features a pattern of oval shapes, possibly flowers or leaves, in a lighter shade of white. The woman's face is not visible, and her hair is styled in a neat, curved shape. The dress appears to be a formal gown, with a fitted bodice and a full, flared skirt. The pattern on the dress adds a touch of elegance and sophistication. The overall effect is one of refinement and poise. The drawing is a beautiful example of fashion illustration from the mid-20th century. To learn more about the artist's work, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
