About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long black dress with a high collar and lace trim at the wrists and hem. She’s wearing a wide-brimmed hat and holding a small purse. The dress fits tightly at the waist and flares slightly at the bottom, ending just above her ankles. The name *Epinochette* is written at the top, which might be the dress’s design name. The loose, sketchy lines give it a quick, almost hand-drawn feel. Next, check out Carven, the artist behind this drawing.

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