About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a fitted waist and short sleeves. Her hair is pulled up neatly, and she wears simple jewelry—a necklace and small earrings. The background is plain, with just a few loose pencil marks on the right side. The artist used quick, confident lines to capture the dress’s texture and the woman’s pose. The name "Piège" is written in the corner, but we don’t know what it means here. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion-focused sketches.
