About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple black outfit—a short jacket with two buttons and a matching skirt. Her hair is neatly pulled back, and she stands straight with one hand resting on her hip. The drawing is loose and quick, with bold black lines against a light background. The sketch includes a tiny diagram of the jacket’s back, showing how it fits. This suggests the artist cared about how clothes look *and* how they’re made. Want to see more fashion sketches like this? Look up Carven.

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