About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a loose, knee-length dress with a wide skirt. She’s mid-stride, one hand near her mouth, the other resting on her chest. The dress has a simple black collar and a patterned stripe down the side. Her hair is short and dark, and she’s wearing low-heeled shoes. The sketch is light and quick, with loose lines that focus on movement. The title *Croisière* hints at a cruise or leisurely walk—maybe she’s enjoying a stroll.

Carven

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