About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek, strapless dress with a blue bodice and a deep purple underskirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s wearing simple heels. The lines are loose but confident, with quick brushstrokes for the fabric and face. The name *Nattier* is scrawled in the corner—likely the dress’s design name, not the artist. The sketch feels like a quick study, maybe for a fashion house or a magazine. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her bold, stylish work.
