About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with bold orange and brown stripes. The dress has a fitted waist and flared skirt, with bright orange cuffs and a V-neck. Her pose is relaxed, hands resting on her hips, and the lines are loose but confident. The title *Abricot* hints at the dress’s peach-orange color—like the fruit. The drawing looks quick, almost like a fashion sketch. Check out Carven to see more of their bold, stylish designs.
