About this work

This drawing, titled Pythagore, presents a woman dressed in a stylish outfit. She wears a dark dress with a high neckline and short sleeves, complemented by a white hat and gloves. Her attire is completed by high heels, and she holds a large, dark-colored scarf in her right hand. The woman's posture suggests confidence, as she stands with her left leg slightly bent and her weight shifted onto it. The overall style of the drawing is reminiscent of mid-20th-century fashion illustrations. For more information on the artist behind this piece, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
