About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, pale green coat with wide lapels and a matching belt. Her legs are bare, and she wears a simple dress underneath. The coat’s shape is loose, with clean lines and a slight A-line skirt. The sketch includes a small back-view drawing of the same dress, showing its short, gathered hem. The artist’s loose, confident strokes focus on the coat’s volume and the woman’s posture. Next, check out Carven to see more of their fashion-focused work.

These delicate ink-on-paper drawings capture the quiet poetry of everyday things: pinecones, reeds, apples.
