About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a simple black dress with a fitted waist and short sleeves. Her hair is pulled up in a smooth bun, and she holds a small purse in one hand while her other hand rests on her hip. The lines are clean and bold, with just a hint of shading to show her face and shoes. The dress looks easy but well-made, with a slight flare at the bottom. The artist used quick, confident strokes to sketch her in—no extra details, just the shape and movement. Next, look up Carven to see more of this artist’s work.
