About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress with short sleeves and a fitted waist. The dress falls straight to her knees, and she holds one hand near her hip. To the right, there’s a small drawing of the dress from the back, showing how it ties at the neck. The lines are loose and confident, focusing on shape over detail. The artist kept it clean—no extra patterns or colors, just the dress and the figure. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
