About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, dark plaid jacket and matching pleated skirt. The lines are simple, with quick strokes for the fabric folds and a light touch for the hands. The background is just a plain sheet of paper—no extra details. The name "Vence" is written in the corner, maybe the outfit’s style or location. The drawing feels quick, like a first idea for a design rather than a finished work. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven for more of her fashion sketches.
