About this work

The image presents a drawing of a woman dressed in a stylish outfit, comprising a jacket and matching pants. The jacket features a black collar and is adorned with small white dots, while the pants are a solid color. The woman's face is not visible, as it is depicted as a blank space. Her hair is styled in an updo, and she wears a large hat. The drawing is rendered in a simple yet elegant style, with clean lines and minimal details. The overall effect is one of understated sophistication, as if the woman is preparing for a formal occasion. This drawing is reminiscent of the work of Marie-Louise Carven, who was known for her designs in the fashion industry.
