About this work

This sketch shows three quick, simple figures wearing sleeveless black dresses. The two main figures stand side by side, arms outstretched, with bright paint splashes—one orange and yellow, the other green—on their chests. A smaller figure on the right is barely drawn, just a faint outline. The lines are loose and sketchy, almost like a quick note. The bright colors on the dresses stand out against the plain black fabric. The artist signed it "Bali" in the corner, but it’s not clear if that’s the place or just a name. The drawing feels more like a rough idea than a finished work. If you like this style, look up Carven for more of their playful sketches.

Carven

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