About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, flowing dress with a striped pattern of dark and light gray. The dress has long sleeves and a high neck, but the skirt flares out as she walks. Her hair is short and simple, and she’s holding her dress slightly away from her body. The drawing is quick and loose, almost like a fashion sketch. The lines are confident but not detailed, focusing on shape and movement over tiny details. If you like this style, look up Marie-Louise Carven for more of her work.
