About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, dark navy dress with a fitted waist and buttons running down the front. Her arms are relaxed at her sides, and she wears low-heeled shoes. The lines are loose but confident, with quick strokes for the face and hair. The name "Saint Michel" is written in the top right corner, but we don’t know why. The dress looks like something from the mid-20th century, with clean, modern lines. Look up Marie-Louise Carven next to see more of her work.
