About this work

This sketch shows a woman from the back, wearing a dark blue outfit with a loose jacket and matching pants. Her hair is pulled up, and she stands with one foot slightly ahead. To the side are simple line drawings of the jacket and a matching top. The artist used quick, confident strokes to show fabric folds and movement. The jacket has a relaxed fit with pockets, and the pants are wide-legged. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
