About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a fitted blue-and-white patterned jacket and matching skirt. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one hand in her pocket. To the right, there’s a simple line drawing of the same outfit from the front. The jacket has a structured collar and three visible buttons, while the skirt flares slightly at the hem. The drawing style is loose but precise, focusing on shapes and fabric folds. If you like this style of fashion drawing, look up Carven.

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