About this work

This is a simple line drawing of a woman in a bright orange dress. The dress has a fitted jacket with a bow at the neck and a flared skirt that stops above the knees. Her shoes are flat, and she’s holding a small bag in one hand. The background is plain white, with just a few faint lines. The title *Corne d’or* is written in the corner—it means "golden horn" in French. That might hint at something about the design or its name, but it’s not clear from the drawing alone. If you like this style, look up Carven next—they’re the artist who made it.

Carven

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