About this work

The image depicts a drawing of a woman wearing a striped shirt and pants, with her hands on her hips. The woman's face is not visible, and she is shown from the waist up. The drawing is done in a simple style, with bold lines and minimal shading. The woman's outfit appears to be a casual, everyday look, with a relaxed fit and a subtle pattern. The stripes on her shirt and pants are thin and evenly spaced, giving the outfit a sense of texture and depth. This drawing is reminiscent of the work of Marie-Louise Carven, who was known for her elegant and understated designs.
