About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress with a fitted waist and a small ruffle at the neckline. Her hair is pulled up neatly, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. Next to her is a quick, smaller drawing of a man in a jacket and tie, both figures outlined with loose, confident strokes. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture the shapes and movement of the clothing. The focus is on the woman’s outfit, which looks clean and modern. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven for more of her work.
