About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, striped suit with a wide belt and big pockets. She’s wearing a hat tilted to one side and holding a small purse. The lines are quick and simple, with just a few colors—mostly light blue, beige, and brown. The signature in the corner reads *"Pedro,"* which is also the title of the drawing. The artist’s name, Marie-Louise Carven, is signed at the bottom. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
