About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, dark blue dress with short sleeves and a matching jacket. The dress has a few buttons down the front and a slight flare at the bottom. Her pose is relaxed, one hand resting on her hip, and she’s wearing low-heeled shoes. The drawing is clean and straightforward, focusing on the shape and line of the clothes. The artist used loose, confident strokes to suggest fabric and movement. Want to see more? Check out Carven, the artist behind this sketch.
