About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black-and-white checkered outfit. She wears a fitted jacket with three-quarter sleeves and a flared skirt that stops just above her knees. Her hair is pulled back under a small hat, and she stands with one hand on her hip. The drawing includes a flat, side-view sketch of the same outfit, showing the jacket and skirt shapes without detail. The lines are loose but confident, focusing on the outfit’s silhouette.

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