About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a wide-brimmed hat and a long coat with a row of triangular shapes down the front. Her arms are outstretched, and the coat flares out at the sides. The drawing is loose and quick, with simple lines and light shading. The coat’s design looks like stacked, geometric shapes—almost like a pattern you might see in fashion sketches. The artist signed it “Carven” in the corner. Look up Carven to see more of their bold, stylish designs.

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