About this work

This sketch shows a simple black figure standing sideways. The person wears a loose, draped dress with one shoulder bare, and their hair is pulled back. The background is plain white, and the lines are quick and confident. The title *Arabesque* hints at movement, but the pose is still. The drawing uses bold black ink with some shading around the face and dress. Next, look up Carven to see more of their fashion-inspired art.
