About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek gray dress with a fitted waist and big front buttons. The dress flares out at the bottom, and she’s wearing simple heels. To the right, there’s a flat drawing of the same dress from the back, with a small sketch of the shoes. The buttons run down the front in a straight line, giving the dress a sharp, clean look. The artist used loose, confident strokes—no tiny details, just bold shapes. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
