About this work

This is a loose, ink sketch of a woman in a simple outfit. She’s wearing a dark, knee-length dress with a slight belt at the waist. Her hair is short and neat, and she holds what looks like a small bag or book in one hand. The drawing uses quick, confident lines—no fussy details. The name *Melchior* is scrawled in the corner, but we don’t know yet if that’s the title or something else. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
