About this work

This sketch shows a person in a dark, formal suit standing on a simple step. The jacket has gold trim on the lapels and buttons, and the person’s hands are tucked into pockets. The lines are loose and quick, with some shading on the face and coat. The title *Trident* is written at the top, and the artist’s initials appear in the corner. The drawing feels like a quick study rather than a finished portrait. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
