About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, loose outfit. She’s wearing a dark top with a bow at the front and matching dark pants. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s holding a small bag in one hand. The word *Précieux* is written in the corner, which means "precious" in French—maybe the outfit is meant to look elegant or special. The drawing is loose and quick, like a fashion sketch. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
