About this work

This sketch shows a woman walking, dressed in a bright yellow dress with a high collar and long buttons down the front. Her jacket has sharp, angular lines, and she’s wearing dark heels. The drawing is loose and quick, with simple shapes and bold strokes. The name "Coucou" is scrawled in the corner—maybe a nickname for the model or the design. The sketch feels like a quick study, not a finished work. Check out Carven, the artist behind this drawing.

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