About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, dark outfit. She’s wearing a loose jacket and pants, with a round hat that sits flat on her head. The lines are quick and clean, leaving most of the background empty. Her legs are slightly apart, and her feet are barely sketched in. The drawing focuses on the shape of her clothes, not details. The artist kept it light and fast, almost like a quick note of how she moves. Want to see more? Check out Marie-Louise Carven.
