About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, flowing dress with a wide skirt. The dress has a dark top with a V-neck and a bright floral pattern in pink and green on the skirt. The lines are simple and quick, almost like a quick sketch. The woman’s pose is relaxed, with one arm bent at the side. The handwritten notes say *"Robe à motif floral rose"* and *"Détail Toile"*, which just means this is a dress with a pink floral pattern. The drawing looks like it was done fast, with loose strokes and some smudges. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven for more sketches like this.
