About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress with a fitted bodice and a wide, full skirt covered in tiny blue polka dots. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she holds a small object in her left hand. To the right, there’s a tiny drawing of the same skirt style, but seen from the front. The artist used loose, quick lines to capture movement and fabric texture. The polka dots are drawn with light, watery strokes. Look up Carven to see more of their fashion sketches.

Carven

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