About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, clean outfit: a bright orange dress with short sleeves and a matching jacket. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands sideways, one hand resting on her hip. Next to her is a smaller drawing of the same jacket, shown from the front. The name "Coralie" is written in the corner, likely the title of this work. The loose, quick lines suggest the artist was more interested in shape and movement than detail.

Carven

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