About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress, standing sideways with one arm raised. Her pose is confident, almost like she’s mid-motion. The lines are loose and quick, with a few light pencil marks suggesting a background—maybe a chair or a wall. The artist signed it “Carven” in the corner, and the whole thing feels like a fast, playful study. The dress looks modern, with a fitted waist and flared skirt. If you like this style, check out Carven.
