About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple outfit: a short jacket with three buttons and a pleated skirt. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she walks with one hand resting on her hip. The lines are loose and quick, with light shading to show folds in the fabric. The artist included a small drawing of the outfit’s back view in the corner. The name "Isabey" is written in the top-right, but it’s unclear if that’s the woman’s name or a label. Next, check out Carven—the artist behind this drawing.

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