About this work

This drawing shows a woman in a mid-calf dress with a dark floral pattern. Her hair is short and styled neatly, and she wears a simple collar with a bow. One arm is outstretched, and she’s wearing black heels with a small toe cap. To the right, there’s a quick sketch of the dress from the front. The word *Hippodrome* is written in the corner—maybe a code or a fashion label. The loose, sketchy lines make the drawing feel quick and modern. Look up Carven next—they were a big name in fashion design.

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