About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, knee-length dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The dress has a checkered pattern in blues and whites, with black buttons down the front. Her hair is short and styled neatly, and she stands with one hand resting on her hip. The drawing is loose and quick, with light pencil strokes. There’s a small sketch of the dress’s collar and hem in the corner, like a pattern piece. Want to see more sketches like this? Look up Carven.

Carven

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