About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length dress with rolled-up sleeves. She stands with one hand on her hip and the other arm raised, holding a long, thin object like a cane or umbrella. The lines are simple and the colors muted—mostly beige and brown—with quick, confident strokes. The word *Tiflis* is scribbled in the corner, which might hint at a connection to a place. The drawing feels quick and lively, like a fashion sketch rather than a polished portrait. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven.
