About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, flowing outfit with wide shoulders and a high waist. Her arms are outstretched, and the fabric looks soft and draped. The drawing is simple, with light pencil strokes and a few darker lines for detail. The artist signed it "Carven" in the corner, which matches the name in the facts. The style feels quick and rough, like a first idea for clothing. Look up Carven next to see more of their fashion designs.

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