About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, sleeveless dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The top half is light gray, and the bottom half has a wavy blue pattern. She’s wearing a small hat, a bracelet, and low heels. The lines are loose and quick, like a quick sketch. The name *Sophie* is written in the corner, which might be the model’s name or the dress’s design. The drawing looks like it was made fast, with just enough detail to show the shape and style. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
