About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, tailored outfit. She wears a light gray suit with a high neck, long sleeves, and a straight skirt. One hand rests on her hip, and the other holds a long cigarette holder. Next to her is a smaller drawing of just the jacket. The artist focused on clean lines and basic shapes. The suit looks practical, with no frills or extra details. The cigarette holder adds a touch of mid-century style. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
