About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, white coat with a high collar and big buttons. She’s walking, one hand in her pocket, the other swinging slightly. The coat is loose but well-defined, and she’s wearing tall, narrow heels. In the background, there’s a quick, rough sketch of trees or poles. The artist signed it “Carven” in the corner, and the name “duc de Chartres” is written below—maybe the person’s title or the drawing’s name. The lines are simple but confident, with some shading to show light and shape. If you like how clothes are drawn in art, look up womenswear.

Carven

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