About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a sleek black dress with a fitted bodice and a wide, flowing skirt. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears simple earrings. The dress has a ruffled trim at the hem, and she’s holding her arm out slightly. The name *Héléna* is scrawled in the corner, like a quick label. The artist used loose, confident lines to capture the dress’s shape and movement. If you like this style, check out Carven for more fashion sketches.

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