About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a high waist and a green top peeking out. The dress looks light and airy, with a slight sheen and soft folds. Her pose is relaxed, with one arm resting on her hip and the other hand loose at her side. The drawing is loose and quick, with some blue and pink strokes adding life to the fabric. The name "Fragonard" is written in the corner, but this sketch is actually by Carven. Check out Carven to see more of their fashion-inspired art.

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