About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress with a draped neckline and long sleeves. The fabric looks soft, and she wears a necklace and earrings. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and the whole drawing is loose and quick, like a quick sketch. The artist signed it "Persane" in the corner, which might be the title or a note. The lines are light and confident, focusing on shapes over details. Next, look up the artist: Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
