About this work

This is a simple line drawing of a woman in a long, black dress with a wide skirt. She’s wearing a white hat and holding a small white bag. The dress has a fitted top with a collar and buttons down the front. The word "Espalier" is written at the top—probably the name of the outfit. The drawing looks like it’s from a fashion sketchbook, not a painting. If you like this style, check out Carven, the artist who made it.

Carven

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