About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a flowing white dress with a fitted bodice and a wide, flared skirt. She’s standing sideways, one leg slightly bent, and her arms rest gently at her sides. The dress looks smooth and light, with a few quick brushstrokes suggesting fabric folds. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to capture movement and shape, leaving some areas almost blank. The name *Greuze* is written in the corner—though it might not be the woman’s name. Look up Carven to see more of this artist’s work.

Carven

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