About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a purple outfit with a short jacket and matching skirt. The jacket has a bow at the waist and a textured pattern, while the skirt is knee-length. Her hair is styled neatly, and she wears a necklace and low-heeled shoes. The sketch includes a simple back view of the jacket, showing its shape and details. The handwriting in the corner says "Maupassant," which might relate to the design. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion-focused artwork.
