About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, loose dress with a fur collar. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s holding her coat open slightly. Next to her is a simple drawing of a man’s coat. The lines are quick and rough, like a quick sketch. The artist’s name, *Carven*, is signed in the corner. The woman’s dress looks like something from an earlier time, but the drawing feels fresh and modern. If you like fashion sketches, look up womenswear to see how clothes were designed in different eras.

Carven

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