About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a simple, dark blue dress with short sleeves and a bow at the chest. Her skirt flares slightly at the knee, and she wears a white hat with a small brim. The lines are loose and confident, with quick strokes for the shoes and hands. The name "Laure" is written in the corner, likely the dress’s model or design. The drawing feels quick and modern, like a fashion sketch rather than a posed portrait. Next, check out Carven—the artist behind this sketch.

Carven

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