About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, knee-length dress with short sleeves and a small collar. The dress is a muted gray, and she’s wearing low-heeled shoes. To the right, there’s a flat drawing of the same dress with tiny "c" marks along the seams. The "Indigo" label suggests this might be part of a clothing design process. The loose, quick lines feel like a first draft—more about shape than detail. If you like fashion sketches, check out womenswear from the 1950s and 60s.

Carven

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