This drawing shows a woman in a simple black dress with a deep V-neck and short puffed sleeves. Her hair is styled high and round, and she’s wearing black heels. The dress has a subtle pattern, and she stands with one leg slightly forward. The title *Marivaudage* (which means playful flirting in French) hints at the dress’s elegant, teasing design. The artist’s signature in the corner reads "C.M.L." Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
