About this work

This sketch shows a woman walking, dressed in a long, flowing dress with a wide-brimmed hat. The dress has bold black patterns on a light background, and the sleeves are narrow. Her shoes are simple, and she holds a small bag in her hand. The drawing uses quick, loose lines to show movement and fabric texture. The name "Paquerette" is written at the top, likely the outfit’s name. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
