About this work

This drawing features a woman in a white dress with a pattern of vertical and horizontal lines, reminiscent of a woven fabric. She stands with her feet together, her left hand on her hip, and her right arm relaxed by her side. The dress has a high neckline and long sleeves, with a pencil skirt that falls just below the knee. A pair of white heels adds a touch of elegance to the overall look. The drawing is rendered in a simple yet effective style, with bold lines and minimal shading. The focus is on the woman's pose and the folds of her dress, which are depicted with a sense of movement and energy. The drawing is a charming representation of 1950s fashion, with its clean lines and classic silhouette. To learn more about the artist behind this work, explore the art of Marie-Louise Carven.
