About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, flowing dress with a wide, flat collar. The fabric has a dark base with splashes of bright floral patterns in orange, white, and green. She wears a wide-brimmed hat and holds her arms slightly away from her body. A smaller version of the same outfit appears in the corner. The hand-drawn lines are quick and loose, almost like a fashion sketch. The focus is on the shape and fabric of the dress, not details. Next, look up Carven to see more of this artist’s work.

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