About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple but stylish outfit. She’s wearing a dark brown dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt that ends just above the knee. The dress has a big bow at the front, and her hair is styled in a short, neat updo. Her arm is stretched out to the side, and she’s standing confidently against a plain background. The sketch feels loose and quick, like it was drawn fast. The lines are smooth but not overly detailed, focusing on the shape of the dress and the woman’s pose. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
