About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a fitted jacket and a flared skirt, both made of a checkered fabric. The jacket has buttons down the front and wide sleeves, while the skirt flares out slightly at the bottom. Her arms are outstretched, and she’s wearing a dark hat with a small brim. The name *Ambrette* is written at the top—likely the outfit’s name. The loose, sketchy lines give it a quick, almost hand-drawn feel. Look up Carven to see more of this artist’s fashion designs.

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