About this work

The image showcases a drawing of a woman in a black dress, with a white dress to her right. The woman's dress features a full skirt and short sleeves, while her hair is styled in an updo. She wears high heels and has her hands clasped together in front of her. The drawing is rendered in a simple yet elegant style, with clean lines and minimal details. The use of black and white creates a striking contrast that draws the viewer's attention to the woman's dress. This drawing is reminiscent of the work of Marie-Louise Carven, a French fashion designer known for her elegant and sophisticated designs.
