About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing dress. The dress is light beige with a sheer skirt dotted with small white flowers. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands with one leg slightly forward. The name *Gisèle* is written in the corner, and the artist used loose, quick lines to suggest fabric and movement. The flowers on the skirt are drawn with tiny dots, giving them a soft look. Check out how the artist used stippling to create texture in the floral pattern.

Carven

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