About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black outfit with sharp shoulders and a high collar. She wears a hat pulled low over her head, and her posture is upright but relaxed. The lines are clean and bold, with just a few quick strokes for details like her hands and the folds of her clothes. The drawing focuses on the outfit itself—no background or extra details. The artist signed it in the corner with a small, neat signature. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
