About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a ruffled neckline. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a quick sketch. The dress is light gray, and the background is plain white. The artist wrote “Palais de Cristal” at the top, which might hint at the dress’s name or style. The drawing feels simple but elegant, with just a few strokes to show the fabric’s shape. If you like this sketch, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
