About this work

The painting depicts a woman wearing a dark plaid coat with a belt around her waist, paired with a dress and white heels. Her short hair is styled in a bob. To her right is a simple drawing of a white coat. The woman's attire and hairstyle suggest a mid-20th-century fashion influence. The contrast between the dark plaid coat and the white coat drawing creates visual interest. This piece invites a closer look at the artist Marie-Louise Carven.
