About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, dark outfit. She’s wearing a knee-length dress with a matching jacket that has a slight flare at the bottom. The jacket has two buttons and a small collar. Next to her is a flat drawing of the same jacket, showing the back view. The handwriting says "Kiang" and the number 70 in the corner—maybe a code for the design. The lines are clean and confident, like a quick study for a real outfit. If you like this style, check out womenswear from the 1970s for more details.

Carven

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