About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, sleeveless pink dress with a scalloped neckline. The skirt is full and flowing, decorated with a faint, swirling pattern. Her hair is pulled back simply, and she holds her hands lightly at her sides. The word *Aubade* is written in the corner—it’s an old term for a morning song, but here it might just name the design. The drawing looks quick, almost like a first idea for a real outfit. Check out Carven to see more of their fashion sketches.

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