About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length blue dress with a V-neck and short sleeves. The dress has a dotted pattern, and she’s holding a matching blue scarf up to her head. Her pose is relaxed, with one hand resting on her hip and the other arm bent behind her. The name *Céleste* is written in the corner, likely the dress’s design name. The drawing uses quick, sketchy lines to capture movement and fabric folds. Check out Carven, the artist behind this style.

Carven

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