About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, red plaid dress with a high collar and flared sleeves. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one hand on her hip. The dress has a loose, flowing skirt that looks like it’s made of lightweight fabric. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to suggest fabric texture and movement. The plaid pattern is simple but bold, with dark lines against a lighter red background. Look up Carven to see more of this artist’s work.
