About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, elegant dress. The top is light with a V-neck and short sleeves, while the skirt flares out softly. A green belt cinches her waist, and she wears low-heeled shoes. The lines are loose and quick, like a quick fashion sketch. The handwritten note "Sable" in the corner might refer to the belt color or fabric. The artist’s signature at the bottom is small but clear. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion drawings.
