About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple, knee-length dress with short sleeves and a belt at the waist. The dress has a dark trim at the hem and pockets on the front. She’s wearing black heels and her hair is styled in a neat, short bob. To the right, there’s a flat sketch of the same dress from the back. The hand-drawn lines are loose but clean, with some shading on the dress’s trim. The style looks practical and a bit old-fashioned. If you like this kind of fashion sketch, look up Carven.

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