About this work

This sketch shows a woman walking, dressed in a bright red coat and a long, flared skirt that hits just above her ankles. Her outfit is simple but stylish, with a belt cinching her waist and pointed shoes. The drawing is loose and quick, with bold lines and patches of color. The artist signed it "Carven" in two spots—once near her head and again at the bottom. The name "Aztèque" is written in the top right corner, maybe as a title or a note. If you like this sketch, check out Carven for more fashion-focused art.

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