About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black outfit with a fitted jacket and a flared skirt. Her hands rest in her pockets, and she wears a simple belt at the waist. Next to her is a flat drawing of the same dress from the back, showing the collar and skirt shape. The sketch is signed "Carven" in the corner, hinting at the artist’s name. The loose, confident lines suggest quick, expressive work—maybe done for fashion design. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
