About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, sleeveless dress with big pink flowers on a green background. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s standing sideways, one leg slightly bent. The lines are quick and simple, but the dress looks soft and flowing. The handwritten words say *"Robe à bretelles"* (which means "suspender dress") and *"Toile"* (fabric sketch). The artist signed it *"Carven"* in the corner. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion drawings.
