About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing white dress with a draped bodice. She holds a small clutch in one hand, and the skirt flares out wide at the bottom. The lines are loose and quick, with some shading on the arms and neck. The name "Rose thé" is written at the top, which might hint at a connection to tea or a specific event. The artist’s initials "C.R." appear in the corner, but the style feels more like a fashion sketch than a formal portrait. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
