About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, checkered coat with big pockets and a wide-brimmed hat. Her coat is belted at the waist, and she’s standing sideways with one leg slightly forward. The sketch is simple but captures the coat’s shape well—there’s even a smaller drawing of just the coat and hat beside her. The name "Curry" is written next to the sketch, which might hint at the coat’s style or fabric. The artist used quick, loose lines to show folds and details like buttons. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.

Carven

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