About this work

This image depicts a woman in a blue dress, with a sketch of the back of the dress to her right. The woman is wearing white gloves and has her hair styled in an updo. She is standing with her left hand on her hip, and her right arm is relaxed by her side. The dress is a dark blue color and appears to be made of a smooth fabric. It has a round neckline and short sleeves, and the skirt falls just below the knee. The back of the dress is shown in the sketch to the right, which reveals a zipper running down the center. The overall style of the image suggests a fashion illustration from the mid-20th century. To learn more about the artist's technique, explore the world of cross-hatching.

Carven

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