About this work

The image shows a drawing of a woman in a white dress, with the title "Marylène" written in the top-right corner. The woman is facing forward, with her head turned slightly to the right. She has short dark hair and is wearing a sleeveless white dress with a pink trim around the neckline and a ruffled hem. The dress is knee-length and has a full skirt that is gathered at the waist. The woman's arms are at her sides, and she is wearing white gloves that reach up to her elbows. Her legs are straight, and she is standing with her feet together. The background of the drawing is a light beige color, and the overall effect is one of elegance and sophistication. To learn more about the artist behind this piece, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
