About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a sleek black outfit. She’s wearing a fitted top with pockets and a matching skirt that hits just above her knees. Her hair is styled high, and she’s paired the look with pointed shoes. The small sketch in the corner looks like a quick draft of the same outfit. The name "Saint Gervais" is written on the page, but it’s unclear if that’s the title or something else. Next, check out the artist Marie-Louise Carven for more of her work.
