About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing blue dress with a wide skirt and a fitted bodice. The dress has a simple neckline and a bow at the waist. Her arms are outstretched, and she’s wearing yellow gloves. The drawing looks loose and quick, with light strokes and some shading on the dress. The name "Naïade" is written in the corner, which might hint at something beyond just a dress sketch. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
