About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a bright red outfit. She’s wearing a matching jacket and skirt with a high collar and a black scarf draped over her shoulders. Her hair is styled in a short, wavy updo, and she’s holding a small object near her chest. The drawing looks quick and loose, with bold lines and some smudged areas. The red stands out against the plain background, making the outfit the focus. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
