About this work

This sketch shows a simple, loose drawing of a person wearing a matching jacket and skirt. The outfit has a checkered pattern in soft green and white, with clean lines and a few quick brushstrokes. The figure stands straight, with one leg slightly forward, and the whole scene feels quick and unfinished. The name *Vernet* is written in the corner, but it’s unclear if that’s the person’s name or the title. The drawing looks like it was made fast, maybe as a rough idea for clothing design. If you like this style, check out Marie-Louise Carven.
