About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, flowing dress with a high waist and a draped skirt. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s holding the front of her dress with one hand. The lines are loose and quick, with light shading to show folds in the fabric. The word *Havane* is written in the top right corner, which might hint at a location or style. The drawing feels like a quick study—maybe for a fashion design or a costume sketch. If you like this style, look up Carven for more work like this.

Carven

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