This sketch shows a woman in a loose, dark suit with wide shoulders and a slightly crooked collar. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s wearing low-heeled shoes with a soft pink sole. One hand rests on her hip, the other hangs loosely, and her legs are long and straight. The word *Vérité*—French for "truth"—is scrawled at the top, maybe hinting at how the outfit looks in real life. The drawing feels quick and honest, like a snapshot of someone walking by. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
