About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress with a deep V-neck. The dress has a light background with scattered blue dots, and the skirt flares out slightly. She’s wearing black high heels and has her left hand resting on her hip while her right hand hangs loosely. The title *Mosaïque* suggests the dress’s pattern might have inspired the name. The drawing is loose and quick, with just enough detail to show the shape and style. Want to see more by this artist? Check out Marie-Louise Carven.
