About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, dark coat with a wide belt over a flared skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one hand in her pocket. The lines are loose and confident, with quick strokes that leave some areas blank. The word "Parisien" is written in the corner, hinting at a French connection. The style looks like it’s from the early 1950s, with a focus on clean, modern shapes. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven—the artist behind this drawing.
