About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length jacket and a flared skirt. The jacket has a simple collar and two pockets, while the skirt has clean, straight lines. Her pose is relaxed, with one arm bent and her hand near her chest. The drawing uses quick, confident lines to suggest fabric and movement. The word "Treillage" is written at the top, which means "trellis" in French—maybe a nod to the pattern in the clothes. Next, look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
