About this work

This is a simple, loose drawing of a woman standing sideways. Her body is drawn with quick, clean lines—just enough to show her shape and pose. The color is a flat, warm brown with a hint of pink on her feet, and the background is plain beige paper. The sketch feels fast, like it was drawn in one go without fuss. The artist’s handwriting in the corner says “Vancouver 53,” which might be a title or a code. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven for more of her work.
