About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, boxy jacket and matching skirt. The fabric looks like a simple checkered pattern, drawn in quick, confident lines. Her arms are relaxed at her sides, and the drawing is mostly in black and white, with some light shading. The name *Caravelle* is written in the corner, and the style feels modern for its time. The sketch focuses on the shape and flow of the clothing, not details like faces or backgrounds. If you like this style, look up Carven for more fashion sketches.

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