About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress. The top is a solid red color with short sleeves, and the skirt is a lighter shade of the same tone. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The handwritten notes say *"Robe pêche"* (French for "peach dress") and *"toile"* (canvas), which hints this was a design draft. The loose, quick lines suggest the artist was focused on shape over detail. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
