About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, sleeveless top and a long, flowing skirt with faint leaf patterns. Her left hand rests on her hip, and her right arm stretches out as if mid-motion. The lines are quick and confident, with some shading to suggest fabric folds. The name "Anémone" is written in the corner, possibly the dress’s design or the model’s name. The sketch feels like a quick study—maybe for a fashion design or a costume sketch. Next, look up Carven to see more of this artist’s work.
