About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a strapless gown with a fitted bodice and a wide, flowing skirt. The dress is light blue with soft pink roses painted on the skirt’s hem. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with her hands resting at her sides. The name "Rosita" is written at the top, and the artist’s initials "C.R." appear on the skirt. The loose, watercolor-like brushstrokes make the roses look almost real. Next, check out the work of Marie-Louise Carven.
