About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, fitted turquoise dress and matching jacket. The dress has a small bow at the collar and a straight skirt. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s wearing low heels. In the corner, there’s a quick sketch of a matching skirt or coat. The drawing is loose and fast, with bold lines and flat colors. The artist wrote “Retour Toile” and “d’épaissir” in the corners, which might mean notes about the design. Want to see more by the artist who made this? Check out Marie-Louise Carven.
