About this work

This sketch shows a woman standing sideways, wearing a simple sleeveless dress with a dotted pattern. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s holding her hands loosely at her sides. The lines are light and quick, with some shading on her arms and legs. The title *Obsession* is scrawled in the corner, hinting at something beyond just the drawing. The paper is plain, with no background details—just the figure against a blank space. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
