About this work

This drawing depicts a woman in a flowing white dress, her head turned to the left. The dress is full and flared, with a high neckline and a small train in the back. The woman's dark hair is styled in a short, sleek bob, and she wears dangling earrings. The drawing is rendered in soft, delicate lines, with subtle shading that gives the impression of depth and texture. The overall effect is one of elegance and refinement, as if the woman is a princess from a far-off land. The drawing is a beautiful example of Marie-Louise Carven's skill as an artist.
