About this work

This sketch shows a woman standing sideways with one hand on her hip. She wears a white sleeveless top with a collar and dark blue pants that hit just above her ankles. Her hair is pulled up in a loose bun, and she’s wearing simple shoes. The pants here are called *bermuda shorts*—knee-length, not full-length. The artist used quick, clean lines to keep it simple and stylish. Look up breech, trouser to see how pants like these changed over time.

Carven

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