About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, dark dress with short puffed sleeves and a fitted waist. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she holds a cane in one hand. To the right, there’s a small flat drawing of the same dress, showing its shape from the front. The artist signed it “Moineau,” which might be a nickname or a style she used. The lines are loose but confident, with some shading to show folds in the fabric. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
