About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, dark green dress. The dress has a fitted bodice with a straight neckline, and the skirt flares out slightly at the bottom. Her arms are relaxed at her sides, and the drawing is done in loose, quick lines with some shading. The artist’s signature, "Ma Griffe," is written in the top right corner. This likely means "my mark" or "my style" in French, hinting at a personal touch. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
