About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, elegant outfit. She’s wearing a light-colored dress with a fitted top and a flared skirt that hits just above the knee. The skirt has small buttons down the side and a subtle pattern near the hem. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one leg slightly forward. The name *Ostrogoth* is written in the corner, which might hint at a design inspiration or just be a label. The loose, quick lines suggest it’s a fashion drawing meant to show the shape and style rather than details. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
