About this work

This sketch shows a woman walking in a loose, flowing coat and a wide-brimmed hat. The lines are quick and wavy, with some areas filled in lightly. Her legs and arms are simplified, almost like a quick doodle. The artist focused on movement and fabric folds, using loose strokes instead of details. The coat’s stripes and the hat’s shape are the main features. Next, look up Carven to see more of their bold, stylized fashion drawings.

Carven

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