This sketch shows a woman in a long, loose coat with one arm raised and the other holding a small handbag. The coat is drawn in bold yellow strokes, while the bag and background stay light and sketchy. The lines are quick and confident, with just a few details like a button or lapel. The artist signed it “Carven” in the corner—likely a nod to her last name. The drawing feels like a quick study, not a finished piece. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her bold, stylish work.
