About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, checkered shirt and matching high-waisted pants. Her dark bow hat sits neatly on her head, and she holds a small purse in one hand. The lines are simple, with quick strokes for the face and hands. The name *Isabelle* is written in the top corner—likely the outfit’s model or designer. The clothes look practical yet stylish, with a mix of tailored and relaxed shapes. Check out Carven next—they designed many bold 20th-century looks like this.

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