About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, loose dress with tiny dots all over it. She wears a wide-brimmed hat and holds a small object in her right hand. The lines are quick and light, like a quick sketch rather than a finished drawing. The dress has a short, fitted top and a flared skirt that stops just above her knees. The drawing looks like it was made fast, with some areas left plain and others filled in with light shading. If you like this style, look up Carven for more fashion sketches.

Carven

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