About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, flowing dress with a deep V-neck and wide pockets. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands confidently with one hand on her hip. The lines are simple but confident, with quick strokes that suggest fabric texture. The name "Teresina" is scrawled in the corner, and the style looks like it was drawn fast—maybe for a fashion idea. The dress shape feels modern for its time, with a relaxed fit that wasn’t common then. Check out Marie-Louise Carven next—she was known for bold, practical designs like this.
