About this work

The image features a drawing of a woman in a black dress, with her hair styled in an updo. She is adorned with a pearl necklace and earrings, and her right hand is placed on her hip. The woman's left leg is slightly bent, and she is wearing black high heels. The drawing is rendered in black and white, with subtle shading that adds depth to the image. The woman's dress appears to be made of a lightweight material, with a flowing skirt that falls just above her knees. This elegant ensemble is reminiscent of the work of artist Carven.

Carven

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