About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, brown outfit. She’s wearing a short jacket with two buttons, a belted skirt, and low-heeled shoes. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The drawing is loose and quick, with light pencil strokes that leave some paper visible. The title *Vent du nord* (which means "wind from the north") is written in the corner. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
