About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, knee-length dress with a fitted bodice and a flared skirt. The dress has a shawl collar and a bow at the neckline. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she holds a cigarette in one hand. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture the fabric’s texture and movement. The dress looks like it’s made of lightweight, flowing material. Look up *shawl collar* to see how this style fits into fashion history.

Carven

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