About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black outfit, standing sideways with one hand on her hip. The jacket has sharp lapels and decorative stitching, while her pants are snug and end in pointed shoes. The background is plain, keeping all focus on the figure’s confident pose. The sketch’s loose lines and shading give it a quick, sketchy feel—like a fashion drawing. The word *"São Paulo"* is written in the corner, possibly hinting at a location or inspiration. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
