This sketch shows a woman in a flowing, dark dress with a high waist and puffed sleeves. Her hair is pulled back, and she holds one arm up while the other rests on her hip. The lines are loose and confident, with quick strokes that suggest movement. The artist’s name, *Marie-Louise Carven*, is written in the corner—this was likely a fashion study. The sketch feels like a quick, playful take on a dress design. Next, check out Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
