About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress with a short top and a long, flowing skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s standing with one arm bent at the elbow. The lines are loose and quick, giving it a sketchy, unfinished feel. The drawing is signed “Régine” in the corner, which might be the woman’s name or the piece’s title. The artist used bold, confident strokes to show the dress’s shape and fabric. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
