About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a fitted jacket and a long, pleated skirt. The jacket has black-and-white checkered squares, while the skirt flares out in soft layers. Her pose is simple—one leg slightly forward, arms relaxed at her sides. The handwritten note in the corner reads *"Robe plissée blanche à motif de carré noir"*, which means "white pleated dress with black square pattern." The artist’s loose lines focus on shape and fabric folds. Check out Marie-Louise Carven for more of her fashion-inspired drawings.
