About this work

This is a simple line drawing of a woman in a sleek black dress. The dress has a fitted bodice with white floral patterns and a flared skirt that stops at her knees. Her hair is styled in a short, neat updo, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The drawing includes a small sketch of the dress’s back view in the corner, showing how it fastens. The loose, sketchy lines give it a quick, almost handwritten feel. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion-focused drawings.
