About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black outfit. She’s standing sideways, one hand resting on her head, the other holding a small bag. The drawing is loose and quick, with bold lines and light shading. The artist signed it “Malikoko” in the corner—likely the title. The style feels modern and simple, focusing on the shape of the clothes. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
