About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, flowing green dress. The dress has a fitted bodice with short sleeves and a square neckline, flaring into a wide, full skirt. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she stands confidently with one hand on her hip. The title *Honolulu* is written in the corner—maybe the dress was meant to evoke a place or time. The loose, confident lines suggest the artist focused on movement and fabric. Look up Carven to see more of their fashion sketches.

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