About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a flowing dress with a dark blue pattern. The dress has a bow tied at her chest and short sleeves. The skirt flares out wide, almost like a fan, and her arms are relaxed at her sides. The drawing is loose and quick, with light pencil lines and watercolor washes. Someone wrote *"Rétour Toile"* in the corner—maybe a note about fixing the fabric. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
