About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a red jacket and long skirt, carrying a blue coat over one arm. Her pose is confident, with one hand resting on her hip. The colors are bold—deep red, bright blue, and simple black lines define the outfit. The sketch feels quick and loose, like a fashion sketch rather than a detailed portrait. The name "Djinn" is written in the corner, which might hint at something beyond just clothing. If you like this style, look up Carven for more work by the same artist.

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