About this work

This sketch shows a woman standing sideways, wearing a sleek, long dress with one shoulder bare. The dress has a simple line down the front, with small flower shapes scattered along the side. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s holding her hands together in front of her. The drawing is loose and quick, with just a few confident strokes. The artist left some pencil smudges near the top, like they were working fast. Look up Carven next to see more of their fashion-focused sketches.

Carven

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