About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress with a white collar and short sleeves. The skirt is loose and has a few small white dots scattered on it. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one hand on her hip and the other holding a small object. The title *Mouches* means "flies" in French, which might refer to the dots on the dress. The drawing looks quick and loose, like a fashion sketch. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
