About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple pose, standing sideways. She wears a dark navy dress covered in white polka dots, a wide-brimmed hat, and pointed shoes. Her arms hang loose, and her legs are long and straight. The artist used clean, flat colors with no shading—just bold outlines. The name "Catherine" is written in the corner, likely the subject’s name. Next, check out stippling to see how artists create texture with dots.

Carven

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