About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing wedding dress. The gown has a fitted bodice and a wide skirt with a floral pattern. She’s wearing a veil and holding a bouquet, standing with one hand on a tall, narrow pedestal. The title, *Wedding Cake*, hints the pedestal might be a cake. The loose, sketchy lines give it a quick, unfinished feel. Look up Marie-Louise Carven to see more of her work.
