About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple, light-colored outfit. She’s wearing a short jacket over a dress, with one hand in her pocket and the other gesturing slightly. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s wearing small earrings and low-heeled shoes. The word *Décor* is written in the corner—maybe it’s about style or setting. The lines are loose and quick, like a sketch rather than a detailed portrait. Look up womenswear to see how clothing like this fit into fashion history.

About the artist

Artist

Carven

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