About this work

This is a simple line drawing of a woman standing sideways. She wears a dark dress with small light-blue floral patterns, paired with black heels. Her hair is short and neat, and she has one hand resting on her hip. The drawing looks clean and straightforward, with no background or extra details. The name "Gil Blas" is written in the top-right corner, and the artist’s signature isn’t visible. Check out the technique: cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.

Carven

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