About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a deep V-neck and pleated skirt. She’s standing sideways, holding a small object in one hand. The background is mostly red, with a thin white edge on the left. The dress looks like it’s made of heavy fabric, with the skirt split into sharp folds. The artist used dark lines to define the shape, giving it a bold, graphic feel. Want to see more? Look up Marie-Louise Carven.
