About this work

This sketch shows a simple dress with a wide skirt and a high collar. The fabric looks textured, with dark splotches and light spots scattered across it. The lines are loose, almost like quick notes rather than a finished drawing. The artist scribbled a few words in the corners—*"costume"* and *"dos ample"* (which means "wide back" in French). It’s like they were jotting down ideas while sketching. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
