About this work

This is a quick, loose sketch of a woman walking. She wears a wide-brimmed hat, a long-sleeved dress with a pattern of dark spots, and a pair of gloves. Her legs are long and straight, and she holds something small in her right hand. The sketch is signed "Cachemire" in the top-right corner, which might be the name of the outfit or the style. The drawing is simple but captures the shape and movement of the clothes well. Check out Carven, the artist who made this sketch.

Carven

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