About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a fitted bodice and a wide skirt. The skirt is light gray with small dark dots and a few white shapes scattered across it. The dress has a high neckline with a bow, and her hair is pulled back under a hat with a striped pattern. The artist used quick, loose lines to sketch the dress, giving it a soft, almost floating look. The background is plain, so all the focus stays on the dress itself. If you like this style, look up Carven.

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