About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black swimsuit with bright, blocky stripes of orange, purple, and green down the front. Her hair is drawn in loose waves, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The lines are quick and loose, like a quick sketch. The title *Caraïbes* hints at a connection to the Caribbean, but the drawing itself focuses on bold colors and clean shapes. The swimsuit’s design feels modern and playful. If you like this style, look up Carven for more fashion sketches.
