About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple, loose outfit: a matching blue jacket and skirt with clean lines. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s holding her hand to her ear like she’s listening. The background is plain, so all the focus stays on her. The sketch is loose and quick, with watercolor washes for the blue. The name *Pervenche* is written in the corner—maybe it’s a nickname for the drawing or the outfit. Look up Marie-Louise Carven next to see more of her work.
