About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, one-piece outfit with wide sleeves and a high collar. Her arms are outstretched, and she’s mid-step, as if caught in motion. The lines are simple but confident, with quick strokes for the fabric folds and shading. The name *Isidore* is scrawled in the corner, which might be the model’s name or a nickname. The drawing feels like a quick study—maybe for fashion design—rather than a polished portrait. Next, check out Carven, the artist behind this sketch.

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