About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, dark dress with a fitted waist and a flared skirt. She’s holding a small object in her right hand, and her hair is pulled back neatly. The dress has a row of buttons down the front, and she’s wearing simple earrings and low heels. The name *Cinna* is written at the top—maybe the dress’s name or the model’s. The loose, quick lines give it a lively feel, like it was drawn fast. If you like this style, check out Carven.

Carven

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