About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple brown outfit: a matching jacket and skirt with a high collar and three buttons. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she wears small earrings and low heels. The lines are loose and quick, with flat colors and no shading. The tiny sketch of a coat hanger in the corner suggests this was drawn for fashion use. The name *Pot Bouille* is written in the top right—maybe the outfit’s design code or a nickname. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion drawings.
