About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a dark blue, knee-length dress with long sleeves and a high collar. The fabric looks textured, almost like it’s dotted with tiny shapes. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s walking with one hand slightly raised. The name *Ivan* is scrawled in the top right corner—maybe a nickname or a model’s name. The drawing feels quick, like it was made fast to capture the outfit’s shape. If you like this style of fashion drawing, look up Carven next.

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