About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, loose outfit: a short jacket and a long skirt, both with a checkered pattern. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with one hand resting at her side. Next to her is a flat drawing of the same jacket and skirt, folded like a pattern. The word "Incroyable" (French for "unbelievable") is scrawled in the corner, maybe as a joke or a comment on the design. The drawing looks quick and rough, like a first idea rather than a finished piece. If you like this style, check out Carven, the artist who made it.

Carven

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