About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a flowing, light-colored dress with a wide skirt. The dress has a scalloped neckline and a black sash tied at her waist. A big hat sits on her head, and the skirt is decorated with tiny dots and a sprig of flowers. The drawing looks loose and quick, like a fashion sketch. The artist signed it in the corner with the title *Garden-Party*. Next, check out stippling to see how dots create texture.

Carven

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