About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a stylish outfit. She’s wearing a dark, wide-brimmed hat and a matching coat with puffy sleeves. The dress underneath has a ruffled skirt and a fitted bodice, giving it a mix of old and new styles. The drawing is loose and quick, with watercolor washes and simple lines. The name "Marceline" is scrawled in the top right corner, maybe the outfit’s name or the model. Check out Marie-Louise Carven next to see more of her work.
