About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress with a deep V-neck and long sleeves. The skirt is wide and flows down to her ankles, while her hair is pulled back neatly. She holds a small object in one hand, and the background is plain. The drawing is loose and quick, with bold strokes that focus on shapes over details. The name "Axèle" is written in the corner, which might be the dress’s name or the model. Next, check out Carven to see more of this artist’s work.
