About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black outfit. She’s wearing a fitted jacket with long sleeves and a dress that flares out at the bottom. Her pose is confident, with one hand on her hip and the other resting on her thigh. The lines are simple but strong, and the whole drawing feels modern and polished. The name *Onduleuse* is written at the top, which might hint at the dress’s wavy shape. The sketch looks like it was made quickly but with purpose, focusing on the clothes rather than details like the face or background. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
