About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a bright purple dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The dress has small floral patterns in blue and white, and the woman wears white gloves and low heels. Her hair is styled neatly, and she holds a cigarette holder in one hand. The sketch looks quick and loose, like a fashion sketch rather than a detailed portrait. The purple stands out against the plain background, making the dress the focus. Want to see more? Check out Carven.

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