About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, strapless dress with a bold red floral pattern. The fabric looks loose, with a slight train at the back. Her hair is short and neat, and she’s holding a small purse on her shoulder. The name “Caracala” is written in the top corner, likely the dress’s design name. The artist’s quick lines and watercolor-style paint suggest a focus on fashion over detail. Look up Carven to see more of their work.
