About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, long coat and a wide-brimmed hat. She’s holding a small bouquet of flowers in one hand, and her other hand rests on her hip. The lines are quick and simple, with just a few shadows to show shape. The artist signed it “Rose bleue” in the corner—maybe the flowers are the clue. The drawing looks like it was done fast, with light strokes and no extra detail. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
