About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a strapless black dress with a bold, leopard-print skirt. The dress fits tightly at the top and flares out at the knees, giving it a sleek yet playful look. Her hair is pulled back, and she holds a small clutch in her right hand. The word *"Ollé!"* is scrawled in the top right corner, adding a touch of energy. The drawing is loose and quick, with light pencil strokes that suggest movement. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
