About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek, knee-length dress with dark polka dots on the jacket and skirt. Her pose is confident, with one hand on her hip and the other resting on her thigh. The dress has a fitted waist and a flared bottom, with a simple belt at the waistline. The drawing is loose and quick, with watercolor shading that keeps it light and airy. The name "Ophir" is written in the top-right corner, likely the title of the piece. Look up Marie-Louise Carven next to see more of her work.
