About this work

The image presents a drawing of a woman in a black dress, accompanied by a small white dress in the bottom-right corner. The woman's dress features a lace bodice and a full skirt, with her head covered by a white cloth. She is depicted in a walking pose, with her left leg extended forward. The drawing is rendered in a loose, expressive style, with bold lines and subtle shading. The use of black and white creates a striking contrast, drawing the viewer's attention to the woman's elegant attire. This drawing is reminiscent of the work of artist Marie-Louise Carven.
