About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a flowing dress with a wide skirt. The skirt is covered in swirling black lines and bright pink splotches, like scattered flowers. Her top is simple, with a small bow at the shoulder and short sleeves. The name *Cyclamen* hints at the floral pattern—cyclamen flowers are small and often pink or purple. The loose, sketchy lines make it feel quick and playful. Next, check out Carven, the artist behind this drawing.
