This drawing depicts a woman in a long, dark dress with a full skirt, standing with her right leg slightly bent and her left leg straight. She wears a dark hat and holds a dark object, possibly a purse or a hat, in her right hand. The woman's face is not visible. The dress is rendered in dark, flowing lines that suggest movement and fluidity. The overall effect is one of elegance and sophistication. If you're interested in learning more about the artist behind this piece, you might want to look up Marie-Louise Carven.
