About this work

This sketch shows two women in long red dresses with matching blue headbands. One stands tall, holding a cigarette holder, while the other is drawn smaller, facing sideways. The lines are loose and quick, with flat colors and no shading. The word *Trotteur* is scrawled in the corner—it might hint at the style or pose. The dresses look sleek and simple, with high heels and long sleeves. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her bold, stylish designs.
