About this work

The image showcases a drawing of a woman in a formal, floor-length gown with a full skirt and a fitted bodice. The dress features a pattern of light-colored flowers or leaves on a white background, complemented by a pink sash around the waist. The woman's hair is styled in an updo, and she wears a pearl necklace and earrings. Her arms are covered by long, white gloves that extend down to her wrists. The woman's face is not fully visible, as it is partially obscured by her hair. However, her eyes are visible, and she appears to be looking directly at the viewer. The overall effect of the drawing is one of elegance and sophistication. This drawing is reminiscent of the work of artist Marie-Louise Carven.
