About this work

This sketch shows a woman from the back, walking with one arm outstretched. She wears a short-sleeved top with a bow in the front, a light dress with a dotted pattern, and low-heeled shoes. Her hair is pulled back under a headband. The loose, quick lines suggest the artist was more interested in movement than detail. The name *Justine* is written in the corner, but we don’t know if that’s the woman’s name or the drawing’s title. Look up Carven next to see more of this artist’s work.

Carven

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