About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a fitted top and a flared skirt. The skirt has three white bands near the hem, and she’s posed with one hand on her head. The lines are loose but confident, and the whole scene feels quick and modern. The name *Puebla* is scrawled at the top—maybe a place or a code for the design. The artist’s signature, *Carven*, is tucked in the corner, hinting at who drew this. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
