About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a strapless gown with a fitted bodice and a wide, flowing skirt. The dress has a soft pink tint with a dotted pattern on the bodice, and the skirt flares out dramatically. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears simple earrings. The sketch is signed "Rose Bertin" at the top, which might be the name of the woman or the dress design. The loose, quick lines suggest it’s a fashion drawing rather than a detailed portrait. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
