Yvette Guilbert

About this work

This sketch shows a woman standing with one arm raised and the other hand near her chest, holding something small. Her face is turned slightly away, and her hair is loose. The lines are rough and quick, with no clear background—just a faint outline of a wall or curtain behind her. The artist used a single olive-green color for the whole drawing, giving it a smoky, sketchy look. The text beside it is in French, but it’s not part of the image itself.
