About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a bright pink suit with a fitted jacket and matching skirt. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s walking with one hand resting on her hip. The lines are loose and quick, with flat colors and no shading. The title written on the paper, *Tailleur saumon*, means “salmon-colored suit,” which matches the outfit perfectly. The drawing feels like a quick study, maybe done in just a few minutes. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
