About this work

This is a simple line drawing of a woman in a sleek outfit. She’s wearing a short jacket with three buttons down the front and a fitted skirt that flares slightly at the bottom. The fabric looks smooth, with a subtle checkered pattern. Her pose is relaxed, one hand resting on her hip, the other loose at her side. The sketch is signed *Glaïeul* in the corner, which might be the dress’s name. The loose lines and shading give it a quick, almost sketchy feel—like a fashion idea jotted down fast.

Carven

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