About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple outfit: a knee-length dress with a matching jacket, both in a light gray-beige color. The jacket has a pointed collar and three buttons down the front, while the dress is straight and hits just above her knees. One hand rests on her hip, and the other hangs loose at her side. The drawing is loose and quick, with some areas left blank to show folds or shadows. There’s also a small back-view sketch of the same outfit in the corner.

Carven

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