About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a loose, green dress with white dots. The dress has wide sleeves and a high waist, with a sheer overlay at the bottom. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s striking a relaxed pose with one hand near her face. The sketch uses quick, confident lines and shading to suggest fabric texture. The green dress stands out against the plain background, making it the focus. Look up Marie-Louise Carven next to see more of her fashion-inspired work.
