About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a bright red dress with bold black zigzag patterns. The dress has a fitted top with long sleeves and a flared skirt that stops just above the knee. Her pose is simple—one hand rests on her hip, the other hangs loose at her side. The name *Fanchon* is scrawled in the corner, maybe the dress’s name or the woman’s. The black lines defining the pattern look almost like quick, sketchy strokes. Next, check out Carven—the artist behind this sketch.

Carven

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