About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, brown dress with a high collar and short sleeves. She’s holding a small bouquet in her left hand, and her hair is pulled back neatly. The lines are loose and quick, with just a few details like her face and hands filled in. The drawing includes a tiny outline of the dress itself, almost like a pattern piece. It’s signed “Bec jaune” in the corner, which might be the name of the design or the artist’s note. Next, look up Carven to see more of their fashion sketches.

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