About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a bright red suit with a matching hat. The outfit has a belt and big pockets, and her legs are long and straight. The colors are simple—red, blue, and a bit of beige—and the lines are loose and quick. The title *Pirate* might hint at something unexpected about the outfit, but it’s drawn in a straightforward way. The artist used light pencil strokes, keeping it simple and sketchy. Want to see more by this artist? Check out Marie-Louise Carven.
