About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose pink suit with a wide jacket and matching pants. She’s wearing blue gloves and a matching hat, standing with one hand on her hip. The lines are simple and confident, with flat colors and no shading. The name "Buvard" is scrawled in the corner—likely the model’s name or a code. The drawing feels quick, like a first idea for a fashion design. Check out Carven, the artist behind this sketch.
