About this work

This drawing depicts a woman in a white dress, with a full skirt and a sweetheart neckline. The dress features thin straps and a large bow at the waist. The woman's head is tilted slightly to the right, and her hair is pulled back. She is wearing high heels and has her left leg slightly bent. The background of the drawing is a light beige color, which provides a subtle contrast to the white dress. The overall effect is one of elegance and sophistication. The drawing is a beautiful example of fashion illustration, and it would be interesting to explore more of Marie-Louise Carven's work.
