About this work

This sketch shows a woman from the back, wearing a long coat with a belt and a wide-brimmed hat. The coat is dark with loose brushstrokes, and her legs are drawn in quick, light lines. The background is plain, letting the figure stand out clearly. The artist signed it "Carven" in the corner, along with the title *Fleur d’eau*. The loose, sketchy style makes it feel quick and informal, like a fashion idea jotted down fast. If you like this, check out Carven—they designed clothes this style was based on.
