About this work

This is a simple line drawing of a woman in a dark, tailored outfit. The dress has a high collar with a bow, long sleeves, and a matching skirt that falls just above the ankles. Her shoes are pointed, and she’s wearing a small hat. The whole sketch is loose and quick, with light shading to show folds in the fabric. The word *Pescador* is written in the corner—it might be the name of the outfit or a code. The drawing feels like a quick study, not a finished portrait. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
