About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black dress. The dress has a fitted bodice with short sleeves and a square neckline. The skirt flares out slightly, and there’s a row of decorative stitching near the hem. The word *Clochette* is written at the top—it might be the dress’s name. The drawing is loose and quick, with some shading to show folds. If you like this style, look up passementerie for more on decorative trims like this.

Carven

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