About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The dress has a small floral pattern near the hem, and the woman’s pose is relaxed, with one hand resting on her hip. There’s also a small sketch of the dress from the front, showing the same floral details. The artist signed the drawing "Sawaï," which might be the dress’s name. The style looks clean and modern, with bold lines and minimal shading. Next, check out the artist Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
