About this work

This sketch shows a person in a bright red outfit with a wide-brimmed hat tilted low over their face. The drawing is simple, with bold black lines and flat colors—no shading or details beyond the shape of the clothes and pose. The person’s legs are slightly bent, and their hands are tucked into their pockets. The note on the paper says *"Modèle non suivi au P° P°"*—maybe a shorthand for the artist’s process. The red outfit stands out against the plain background, making it the focus. Check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
