About this work

This sketch shows a simple red dress with a square neckline and a straight skirt. The fabric looks smooth, with a single black seam down the front. Around it are quick pencil drawings of the dress’s back and front views, plus a tiny sketch of a matching jacket. The word *Etincelle* (French for "spark") is scrawled in the corner—maybe the dress’s name. The loose lines and quick shading make it feel like a fast, early idea rather than a finished design.

Carven

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