About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, elegant outfit. She’s wearing a dark blue dress with short sleeves and a flared skirt that hits just above her ankles. The dress has a collar and a small belt at her waist. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s wearing low-heeled shoes. The drawing uses loose, quick lines—some areas are barely sketched, while others, like the dress, are filled in with confident strokes. The name *Balsamine* is written at the top, and the artist’s initials (*C.R.*) appear in the corner. Check out Carven to see more of this artist’s work.

Carven

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