About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress with a square neckline and a bow at the waist. The dress has a light blue pattern on a lighter background, and the skirt flares out gently. The drawing is loose and quick, with soft shading for the face and arms. The name *Paule* is written in the top right corner, possibly the model’s name or the dress design. The style looks clean and elegant, like something from the mid-20th century. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
