About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length dress with a dark floral pattern. The dress has a high collar and three-quarter sleeves, with a simple slit on one side. The fabric looks light and flowing, almost like silk. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s wearing low-heeled shoes. The drawing is loose and quick, with just enough detail to show the shape and style. The name "Andrinople" is scrawled in the corner—maybe the dress’s code name or the artist’s shorthand. Want to see more fashion sketches like this? Look up Carven.

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