About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress with a bow at the waist. The dress is straight and loose, falling to her knees. She’s wearing low-heeled shoes and has her hair pulled back neatly. The drawing uses quick, clean lines to show the shape of the dress and body. The artist focused on the dress’s clean silhouette, almost like a fashion sketch. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
