About this work

The image depicts a woman dressed in a white outfit, consisting of a short-sleeved button-down shirt and a pencil skirt that falls just below the knee. She wears yellow gloves that extend up to her elbows and a matching hat with a wide brim. Her shoes are white pumps, and she accessorizes with earrings. The background of the image is a light beige color. The woman's attire appears to be formal, suggesting she may be attending a special event or occasion. The use of white and yellow in her outfit creates a striking contrast against the neutral background. This drawing is a great example of Marie-Louise Carven's work, showcasing her attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of a subject through simple yet effective lines and colors.
