About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, brown plaid outfit. The jacket has a boxy shape with two buttons, and the skirt flares out slightly. Beside her is a quick line drawing of the same outfit from the back, plus a single high-heeled shoe. The artist focused on clean lines and texture, using light shading to show fabric folds. The plaid pattern is drawn with quick, confident strokes. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her fashion sketches.
