About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, elegant outfit. She’s wearing a white button-down shirt with rolled sleeves, tucked into a knee-length skirt that flares slightly at the bottom. The skirt has a few small dots down the side, and she’s holding one hand near her waist while the other rests at her side. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s wearing small earrings. The drawing is loose and quick, with light pencil strokes that focus on the shape of the clothes. The artist kept it simple, avoiding too many details. If you like this style of fashion drawing, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
