About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with her arms raised. The dress is white with a wide skirt and a bow at the waist. Tiny gold dots and lines add sparkle near the hips. The drawing looks quick and loose, like a fashion sketch rather than a detailed portrait. The name "Feuille d'or" (which means "gold leaf") is written in the corner. Next, check out Carven—the artist behind this sketch.

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