About this work

The image depicts a woman in a dark-colored outfit, standing with her left hand resting on a long, thin object that extends from the floor to above her head. She is wearing a long-sleeved jacket with a belt around her waist and a matching skirt that falls just below her knees. Her hair is styled in a neat, short fashion. The woman's pose suggests a sense of confidence and poise, as if she is ready to take on the world. The dark colors of her outfit add a sense of sophistication and elegance to the overall image. This drawing is reminiscent of the work of Marie-Louise Carven, who was known for her elegant and sophisticated designs.
