About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a loose, off-the-shoulder dress with bold pink and black floral patterns. The skirt flares out slightly, and her arms are relaxed at her sides. The background is plain, keeping all focus on the dress and her simple pose. The word *Renoncule* is written in the corner—it’s French for *daisy*, which might hint at the flower shapes in the fabric. The sketch feels quick and lively, like a fashion sketch rather than a finished portrait. Want to see more? Look up Marie-Louise Carven.
