About this work

This drawing shows a woman wearing a dress with a full skirt and a fitted bodice. The dress has a pattern of small designs, but they're hard to make out. The woman's head is turned away from us, so we can't see her face. The drawing is quite detailed, with lots of lines that suggest the folds of the dress. It looks like it might have been drawn with a pen or pencil. The paper is a light color, which helps the dark lines stand out. If you like this kind of drawing, you might want to look up the artist Carven.

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