About this work

This sketch shows a woman standing sideways, her head tilted slightly down. She wears a long, sleeveless dress with bold, abstract colors—greens, purples, and oranges—splashed across the fabric. The lines are loose and confident, with quick strokes that leave some areas unfinished. The name *Albâtre* is written in the corner, but we don’t know what it means here. The drawing feels like a quick study, maybe for fashion or design. Look up Carven next—they were known for bold, modern styles like this.

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