About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a sleek black outfit with a long coat and flared skirt. Her left hand rests on her hip, and she holds a yellow cigarette holder to her lips. The background is plain, letting the bold lines and colors stand out. The sketch feels loose and quick, with visible brushstrokes and some smudges. The title *Spirale* is written in the corner, hinting at the flowing lines of her pose. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
