About this work

This is a simple line drawing of a person wearing a loose, patterned outfit. The fabric has small dots all over it, and the sleeves and collar are dark. The figure stands with one hand on their hip and the other arm bent, looking relaxed. The name *Clairière* is written in the corner, and the drawing looks like it was made quickly, with light pencil strokes. The outfit is clearly meant for a woman, and the style looks practical but stylish. If you like this kind of fashion sketch, look up *womenswear*.

Carven

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