About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a draped belt and a wide-brimmed hat. Her pose is relaxed, one hand resting on her head. The lines are loose and confident, with quick strokes for the dress and hat. The artist signed it "Carven" in the corner. The sketch feels like a quick study, maybe for a fashion design. Look up Carven next to see more of their work.

Carven

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