About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, sleek dress. The top is light blue with a dark collar, and the skirt is long and flowing. She’s holding a small clutch with a floral pattern, and her hair is pulled back neatly. The name *Hortensia* is written at the top, which might be the dress’s design name. The lines are loose and quick, like a fashion sketch. Next, check out Carven for more of their work.

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