About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length jacket with three buttons and wide cuffs. She wears a long, pleated skirt that flares out slightly, paired with low-heeled shoes. The jacket has a tie belt tucked into the skirt, and her hair is pulled back under a headband. The drawing uses simple lines and soft shading to show fabric folds and volume. The artist focused on the outfit’s shape and movement, not details like wrinkles or texture. Check out Marie-Louise Carven for more sketches like this.
