About this work

This sketch shows a tall, purple gown with a wide skirt and a high collar. The sleeves are long and slightly flared at the wrists. The fabric looks soft, with a few quick brushstrokes showing folds and light. In the corner, there’s a small sketch of the same dress from the front. The artist signed it "Beryl" in the top right corner. The hand-drawn lines are loose but confident, like a quick fashion sketch. Check out Carven next—they made many bold, colorful designs like this.

Carven

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