About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, red-and-black plaid shirt and a long, dark skirt. She’s holding a small black object—maybe a purse or a bird—up to her face. The lines are quick and simple, with just a few shadows under her arms and along her legs. The drawing is signed *Sud-Express* in the corner, which might be the name of the design or the collection. The style feels modern and a little rough, like it was drawn fast. Check out Marie-Louise Carven for more sketches like this.
